Photos from Tandawazi, 2011
December 3, 2011 | no comments
Vocalists: Neema, Kanji, Kaz and Myself with a great array of musicians for Tandawazi Festival 2011 last Saturday.
THE PROCEEDS
The proceeds from Tandawazi go towards Project Baraza. This is
an empowerment initiative whose objective is to build / refurbish
community youth centres in under privileged communities. The idea is
to create a commercially run entity that’s run by the community, for the
community.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
Tandawazi is not a charity. Through the arts we provide the youth with
skills that will better their economic situation and that of their families
as they grow within their preferred skill set. Our current work will breed
that next crop of capoeira instuctors & assistants who will be teaching
classes across Kenya. We are working on nurturing a confident worldly
individual.
Tandawazi is an empowerment initiative.

Tamambo Tapas Gig last night…So Suhwweett!
May 1, 2011 | no comments
Thankyou everyone so much for coming last night to Tamambo Tapas. It was a really great show and it was really wonderful that you were such a receptive audience!
For those of you that missed it, Tamambo Tapas is a small music venue located in Nairobi. The evening was chilly, but with the amount of people in the restaurant we were kept warm and cozy. Myself and the band started playing at 9pm, we were all quite excited as this was the first show in a while that we had played together as the full band as myself and Danz, my bass player had been away on our Polish tour.
The red glow of the spot light gently hit my face as I looked up to see a full house of anxious familiar and unfamiliar faces. We started the set pretty mellow, familiarizing ourselves with our sound and the stage. By the end of the night, it was around 11.30-12am and we had gone through an array of my original music weaving jazz, reggae, soul and afro making it a dynamic and improvised performance…..At one point I had the audience up and waving their arms and singing to the sounds of someone flying on Aladins carpet!!!
Thankyou, and hope to see you at the next one!
