Catch Ma3 Live & Free This Week

After Just A Band‘s electric performance last week, the Ma3 band will make their debut on the Thursday Nite Live at Choices Pub & Restaurant stage this week on 7th February between 8:00 and 11:00 p.m.

Ma3 is a six-piece, quirky Afro Pop band from Nairobi that borrows its name from the public transport mini-vans that very common in cities in Kenya and all over Africa.

The group is made up of vocalist Julia, electric guitarist Kato, acoustic guitarist Karimi, keyboardist Tim Rimbui, bassist Alan Wanjohi and drummer Muraya.

The band has previously played Sauti Za Busara Festival in Zanzibar, Kinanda Arts Festival, Blankets & Wine, All That Jazz and smaller shows around Nairobi. They featured as the house band for the Patricia Show on MNET and the 2011 Tusker Project Fame.

Their sound is that of young, contemporary, urban Africa; mixing soulful English and Swahili lyrics with spell binding guitar riffs built on a solid rhythm section.
