This Is One Of The Most EPIC Kenyan Concert Performances I’ve Ever Seen!

OK, so I stumbled on this video of Eko Dydda a while back, and I’ve been meaning to write about it, but I had some web development stuff to do. Now that I’ve fixed up the site, let me tell you about this concert.

So Eko Dydda was performing at the Groove Tour last year, the Mombasa edition to be exact, and he was belting out the tune “Psalm 23.” Eko did not disappoint with his usual energy on stage, looking like he might break a leg with some of his outstretched movements! But what made this video REALLY special was the crowd.

I’ve been to several concert performances in Kenya, and what you usually find is most people in the crowd have a stick up their behinds, acting too ‘classy’ to be impressed, as if they see celebs in concert every day. These wet blanket types usually stand and stare at the performer, looking dull like this:

But not these Coasterians. These guys LOVED Eko Dydda and were proud to say it out loud! By this I mean that they chanted loudly each and every single word to the song “Psalm 23.” It was just lovely when Eko Dydda let them stagger and stammer over his lines on his behalf. Adding onto the vocal hype, the crowd was also throwing their hands in the air, and waving them like they just didn’t care, for the ENTIRE recording! Have you ever seen mad support like that for a local artist? I highly doubt. At least I haven’t. But it’s great to see the fans coming round to adoring their local celebs like this. Enough of these verbose descriptions now. See the video for yourself here below:

Props to Astar, who’s the one who shot the video from backstage
