But before....

The place is Wapi and as usual,things start to heat up at around 2pm.On the stage is Njeri Wangari and by the way she's flowing,her spoken word ish has taken me up to cloud nine and kept me there for the duration of her performance. Kwanza there this piece she did about the way she is mythical Gikuyu's 10th daughter,the one who is learned and doesn't follow all traditions - but get this, Gikuyu had only 9 daughters!(Gikuyu is the historical father of the Agikuyu people of Kenya)...Word up! Andy Zawadi followed up with his spoken word piece about how all HIPHOP cats want the bling-bling. Third World Revolution followed up with their wicked cypher. There is a not so new band out there going with the tag 'Just A Band' and man can those guyz can rock a place. They did their song with Wakamba Wawili feat Liz Ogumbo ,'Never Knew' and standing Os were in order.The most talented and out of this world hiphop producer in Kenya ,Chizzen Brain, was in the house and Wakamba Wawili were next on stage. They did their thing and the crowd loved their sensational performance. Johny Vigetti of Kalamashaka arrived from months of being underground. Poet and spoken word artist and performer Tim Mwaura was on the W-times and that was a breath of fresh air!
Yesterday while writing this I was listen to Lauryn Hill's MTV Unplugged album and can't that lady rock a mic...so.....spirirutal...with her lone guitar. Its so sad that she went under.
The next Wapi will be on 20th September and you know ur boy can't miss!
Peace out,mpaka tena!
