As a result of how swiftly it was spreading and killing the afflicted, fear grew around it.<\/p>\n<p>As humanity began to understand Covid-19, we determined to put in place quarantine measures and while a few countries opted not to go into lockdown measures to arrest the spread of the respiratory disease, an overwhelming majority did, including Kenya.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000\"><a style=\"color: #008000\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/i-lost-my-job-got-an-accident-and-contracted-covid-19-mwanaisha-chidzuga-opens-up\/\">\u201cI lost my job, got an accident and contracted COVID-19,\u201d Mwanaisha Chidzuga opens up<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In Kenya, our economy was already in the doldrums and the Covid-19 lockdown sent it into a spiral. As a result, alot of companies announced redundancies, businesses went under and even schools fell under the pressure of the economic realities.<\/p>\n<p>Kenya&#8217;s entertainment scene was also savagely rocked as the Covid-19 lockdown measures meant alot of bars, nightclubs, restaurants and other entertainment spots went under and their staff were furloughed. This in turn meant DJs, musicians and thespians were left high and dry. But to say a lot of people didn&#8217;t adapt is to tell a lie.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000\"><a style=\"color: #008000\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/sauti-sols-bien-aime-speaks-after-testing-positive-for-covid-19\/\">Sauti Sol\u2019s Bien Aime speaks after testing positive for COVID-19<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Some individuals within the entertainment industry realized they had to adapt. At first, this meant putting on performances on their social media accounts and having digital hangouts but I failed to see the financial viability of this unless corporate sponsors came onboard. And unfortunately, not a lot of entertainers and DJs have formed those networks.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, Kenyans began to evolve. We began to find a way to survive and adapt. As a result, there were some winners who have emerged even as others fell. Let us take a look at some of the people who won the race to adapt:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Event organisers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Brunch event organizers:<br \/>\nSome event organizers adapted to holding brunch events. This meant starting the party at midday and hosting the crowd till around 8PM. As a result, we have seen clubs such as Moran Lounge, Vineyard, Winning Post\u00a0<em>na kadhalika<\/em> perform strongly during the entire period. Why? Kenyans are tired of being couped up in their homes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/03\/pre-game-brunch.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-157807\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/03\/pre-game-brunch.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/03\/pre-game-brunch.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/03\/pre-game-brunch-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/03\/pre-game-brunch-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Garden party organizers:<br \/>\nIt was interesting to see people like DJ Pierra Makena find loopholes in the ban on nightclubs and bars at the height of Covid-19 and host events at gardens and parks.
