Fena Gitu To Rock Godown Centre On The 6th Of April.

How much do I love Fena! For a musician of her callibre, she is pretty affable and down to earth. And once, at a very awesome event I attended and wrote about here, she was called on stage for an impromptu performance and not only did she oblige, she rocked it like she was getting paid to! The event was by Mumala, at Ethiopian Dass. 

She is currently flying high with her club banger with Kagwe Mungai ‘Dutch’ and her own song ‘Africa Massive.’ So naturally when I saw this update on her Facebook update yesterday, I was stoked. Then Godown Centre officially confirmed this today “Performing at the GoDown-GiG, Saturday, is the one and only FENA.” The Lord must really love you and me.

According to the bio provided there, Fena started out as a back-up vocalist for Muthoni the Drummer Queen and Dela in 2009 before pursuing a solo career in 2010. She has since performed at several events in Nairobi and across Kenya, most notably: FENA LIVE AT SHEBEEN, FENA LIVE AT CHOICES, and Blankets and Wine. Others include Kilifi Arts Festival, Molo Footloose Festival for Peace, Arts and Beer Festival, Kinanda Arts Festival, just to mention a few. FENA has had the pleasant opportunity to share the stage with both local and international greats such as; Sauti Sol, Dela, Muthoni, Neema Ntalel, Harry Kimani, Kidum, and international icons; Fally Ipupa (Sawasawa Festival, May 2011), Vivian Green (Lounge Unplugged, September 2011), and UK-based singer/rapper Lush (Molo Footloose Festival for Peace, February 2012).

I personally love her other songs Fenamenal (wo)man and down, so I have marked my calender. See you there.
