Yesterday we (those who attended the concert) witnessed history in the making. Juukua band single handedly pulled a stunt that most of these coast event organizers wouldn't do. With limited funds and resources, the crew used basic materials to decorate their concert making it the best I have attended ever since I came to Mombasa. Now next time I wanna have a launch of anything I know who I will be contacting. The Band has just proved that we do not need Safaricom and Tusker to sponsor us so that an event can be successful. No, sir. We just need to make good use of the available material.
What I liked most is the turn out of coast Hip-hop artists who were there to support the crew. I spotted Ohms Law, Fikra Teule, Miss Dimplez, Anonymous Vedette, Vasatyle man, Johny Skani, who was there with the Pwani TV crew. Nyota Ndogo, humbly "opened the concert" (okay I have a feeling that is grammatically wrong, that's why it is in quotes) I said humbly because, she is the bigger star (lol, Nyota Ndogo, is big star, get it?) but she curtained raised for the band. I am yet to see anything like that in hip-hop. Come to think of it, this is not the first time she has performed with the band, it's like she's nurturing them, giving them direction. Who does that in hip-hop? All I see is beefs and unhealthy competition to see who is the "best".
Well I am not much of a photographer, but I managed to capture some photos.
