Now Confirmed:Bushman is indeed bringing ‘creatures in the night’ to Kenya

“I live among the creatures of the night. Vampires, hypocrites and parasites…” These are some of the parabolic lyrics to Bushman’s hit song ‘Creatures in the night’ which generally talks about man eating flesh instead of greens. Full conscious lyrics, and he’s bringing it all to Kenya.

I recently wrote an article on Bushman’s tour to Kenya (read the article), with limited information. It has now been officially confirmed to us by the organisation behind his visit. The March Forth Kenya Kids is a non-profit organisation in Kenya that harbours and gives underprivileged kids lessons in art and music as a way of uplifting their confidence and lives in general.

We got in touch with the President and co-founder of the organisation, Lynn Rossetto, to confirm the news and avoid unnecessary hype like that of the Mavado Concert. “This is a free event that we do every year.  Last year, Rocky Dawuni from Ghana was the headliner.  In 2010, Tippa Irie and Dr. Ring Ding were the headliners.  This year is going to be amazing!  The main activities of our non-profit include teaching underprivileged youth art and music as a way to give them confidence, hope and to show them the powerful positivity that can be brought to their lives as a result.  Our young students will be opening the show prior to Bushman!” Lynn Rossetto told Ghafla!Kenya.

Bushman is set to perform in Nairobi on the 13Th of May at the Kenya Cultural Centre Grounds (The National Theatre) from 2PM to 5PM, where entry will be absolutely free. The concert is dubbed ‘Songa Mbele 2012’ and the super talented children from the March Forth Kenya Kids Foundation will curtain raise for the Jamaican artiste with a live performance that promises to capture the hearts and minds of everyone present. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that the Metro FM fans, after the shutdown of the radio station, some good news is finally here. Kenya’s hottest female selector, 

Fya Mama (Njambi Koikai) will be the host of the show/concert.

You might think that it’s a wrap, but not yet. Just a day prior to the official concert, a pre-event fund raiser will be held at the Sarabi, The Rooftop Lounge, Sankara Hotel in Westlands where Bushman will be performing a private acoustic set. Entry at the Lounge will be Sh.500 at the door.

So, there you have it. Bushman live. Bless… yes!
