This Is How Kidum, Fena And Steve Nyabwa Rocked Godown Arts Centre.

Where were you on Saturday? I, spent my afternoon at Godown Arts Centre!

Godown has a gig every last Saturday called Godown Gig, and this past event was graced by Kidum, Steve Nyabwa and Fena Gitu. I wrote about it here, so you best read about it. Below however, are pictures by the amazing photographer Eric Saganda of Fotogeric. The clarity of his pics, do a better job narrating the story that was the Godown Gig. The first few are of some of the fans that were in attendance.

The host of the day was none other than the beautiful Ziki, singer, songwriter, guitarist and actress. Who knows, may be the one will see her ditch the Emceeing job for the mic and guitar.

The first singer of the day was Steve Nyabwa, former TPF contestant. He was backed by among other former fellow contestant Juveh. His benga jams were out of this world, and the best part was when Steve called his lady to lead the audience in doing the shuffle. I can tell you this for a fact, this guy has a lot of music coming out this year, be on the look out for that. Here’s one of his songs.

The second artist of the day was Neo-soul queen Fena Gitu aka Fena-menal. She opened her set with Nairobology, before taking us down memory lane. Her special moment I believe, was when she paid homage to the late Esir and K-rupt. The deafening screams that erupted when she said she was done, were silenced when she did Africa Massive. She’s supposed to play at Choices this thursday, if that is confirmed I will let you know, she runs these streets!

The last artiste of the day was the incomparable Kidum. Now, check out the first picture below to see what his guitarist was doing! Kidum had everyone singing, hanging on to his every word. The most memorable part, was him doing pushups on stage and letting his three female backup vocalists all have their turn to wow the audience. They, not wanting to steal his thunder, actually randomly picked audience members to sing with them. The two kids did not disappoint especially the boy who sang Zahara’s Loliwe! Awesome awesome show.

The surprise artist of the day, was this lady from Tanzania who looked like she was channeling Tina Turner with her cray hairdo! She was oozing energy in copious amounts and she shut it down. She lip-synched though, but she more than compensated for that with the vigorous hip jerking. Sadly, I did not get her name, but if I find that clip I shall definately share it with you.
