Blankets and Wine Miss Out On Getting Kanye West Collaborator

When you think of the Kanye West’s tracks “Flashing Lights”, “POWER” and Common’s “The People”, the first thing that comes to mind is the hauntingly calm but memorable voice singing the hooks. Well for those of you who don’t know, that’s just a snippet of the artist that is Dwele (government name Andwele Gardner).  

His is the melodious voice that complements some of our favourite hip-hop classics. And Nairobi was to enjoy the soulful sounds of Dwele this September in the upcoming edition of Blankets and Wine.

This lad was going to be gracing the stages of the next edition of Blankets and wine. Unfortunately due to a clashing commitments in his schedule we will NOT be seeing Dwele, live, in living colour in a few days. But not to fear! Muthoni (artiste and organiser of the acclaimed monthly open-field concerts) in her sagely manner already has a contingency plan. Rather than cancel the show or postpone it, she booked an available act that we are sure will be an equal treat for music lovers and “Blankets” buffs alike.

Well what about Dwele? Muthoni has promised to try her hardest to get Dwele to perform for us in November. I for one do hope she can manage what is turning out to be the Herculean task of synching the schedules of everyone involved.
