continuation....
The kenyans who came in second after a nice performance by "Washamba" stole the show with their soft music and crooning voices. The trio, Seamus Ikonya, Benson Mutahi Githaiga and Phillip Tuju Fil-ah captured the crowd with their acapella music and dance styles. One of their songs even featured traditional "nyatiti" instrument famously used by the Luo people of kenya.
The trio are on a two week tour of Bergen and have performed in various schools around Bergen.
Tonight they will be performing at Cafe Sanaa (the heart of jazz music in Bergen) and on saturday they will be performing at Cafe Opera. Those who missed the opportunity to watch them, can see them at this two places.
The night at Biks was fantastic and electrifying and the three bands played their hearts out. Hordaland 80 band replayed some famed beats by Fela Kuti of Nigeria. They entertained the crowd with their painted faces..... it was cool to say the least.
Wazalendo kenya is proud to be one of the events organisers and was proud when the Kenyan trio performed so well.
