Quite pleased to have been mentioned in the People Daily paper as part of the top 10 alternative dj's in Kenya. Thank you all for the continuous support and recognizing what I do and the sound I play smile emoticon.

Some of the greatest Jazz musicians in this country seem to be dead passionate cats, weirdly enough also from West and Central African countries jamming away in pubs and restaurants in – of all places – Nairobi. But not all are interested in putting a spotlight on themselves… Keeping people entertained and happy seems to be the sole aim of their game.

Performing this weekend on the 22nd at the Safaricom Jazz Festival. A rapper and award winning alto-saxophonist (among other achievements – Did I mention he has a degree in Modern History from the Oxford University?) … This is definitely gonna be one of ‘the acts of the year.’. At first, the idea of a touring Jazz musician under the title “MC” stood out.

It’s no surprise that Jarel is the 1st pick for my blog. As I try to keep track of Kenya’s music industry – as in, how the music itself is evolving – I look for visionaries: the true musicians who are looking to express something new and are not afraid to walk their own path and dance to their own rhythm, as different as it may be.
