The Lounge Unplugged presents Vivian Green

"Emotional Rollercoaster" is still such a a great track. I admit, that's the only song of hers I'm familiar with, but I can still attend her concert for that alone. I think I'll get her album(s) and familiarize myself with more of her songs. Plus, the woman is gorgeous, why would I not go!? Capital FM, thankyou for finally bringing good artists to this country. I'm sorry most of these artists that visit don't do it for me, maybe I'm old..lol Date: October 15th, 2011 Venue: Kefit Centre, opposite Belgium Embassy, Limuru Road Time: 7:00 pm Tickets: Ksh 2000 Advance tickets available at Dormans, Yaya, Nakumatt Westgate, Junction & Capital FM offices

Video: 27 Year Old Kingwa Kamencu to run for President.

I am really excited and proud of this 27 year-old lady. We need more Kenyan women with determination, confidence and fire like her. I think she is in the mold of Martha Karua . It is sad that young Kenyans are the main people dismissing her. KenyaChristian for one supports your bid, this is a proud moment for democracy in Kenya. Hopefully KenyaChrisian can get an interview with Ms.Kamencu.

Letta Mbulu - "There's Music In The Air"

Image
I was pretty sure I had posted this song on the blog, but maybe not. Anyway, I really like this song, it's become a favourite over the years. I only heard it first about 3 years ago and instantly fell in love. It's from Letta's 1976 album of the same name. Music used to be really beautiful back in the day, music doesn't have to be loud and in your face, you can also make beautiful songs, artists are you listening?
