We had another Affair earlier and again, a concert featuring performances from Kenya's A- list musicians:Asiyo Jacob
Jacob began playing piano at the tender age of 11 after hearing a piano being played in the music room at his elementary school. An intense determination that has its roots in this childhood recollection has led to Jacob becoming not only a very competent musician but an extremely passionate one as well. www.jacobasiyo.com. This would be his frist perfo...rmance on the A-ffair Stage.
Atemi Oyungu:
On her debut release of ‘’Happy’’ in 2004, Kenyans were undoubtedly sure that the new hit single was a product of an award winning musician such as Angie Stone or Aretha Franklin on account of her powerful vocal abilities surpassed all local industry standards. Atemi has been described as Kenya’s Miriam Makeba- her stage presence during her live shows fills up and brightens up even the darkest and coldest of spaces. She makes a comeback to the A list Stage.
Adwar Chris and The Villagers Band:
The Villagers Band released their brand new album “Nofork Hotel” in December 2009. This Nairobi based band comprising 9 members has a unique style of music dubbed Bengenge. This is a fusion of pop, benga and genge and other forms of popular African music such as mbalax, lingala and zouk.This would be their second performance at the Affair.
Aceda Chizi:
The 'crown prince of benga' is fast becoming the flavor of Kenyan fusion and jazz music with a reputaion that is growing by leaps and bounds. This multi-talented 25 year old released his first album titled Suluwe back in 2005 while at Nairobi based Kijiji Records. His sophomore album Benganology is due for release July 30th
