Video: Tyler Perry's "Good Deeds" (Trailer)
Posted: December 17, 2011, 8:39 pm by KenyaChristian
A successful, wealthy businessman, Wesley Deeds, (Tyler Perry), has always done what’s expected of him, whether it’s assuming the helm of his father’s company, tolerating his brother’s misbehavior at the office or planning to marry his beautiful but restless fiancée, Natalie, (Gabrielle Union). But Wesley is jolted out of his predictable routine when he meets Lindsey, (Thandie Newton), a down-on-her-luck single mother who works on the cleaning crew in his office building. When he offers to help her get back on her feet, the chance encounter with someone so far outside his usual circle ignites something in Wesley. This one good deed may finally spark his courage to exchange the life that’s expected of him for the life he’s always really wanted.

Video: Just A Band - "Huff + Puff"
Posted: December 8, 2011, 8:22 pm by KenyaChristian
The concept behind Just A Band‘s new video came about from a challenge — two Norwegian filmmakers in Kenya dared the band to shoot a video “with a bunch of constraints, such as having to include a movie reference… starting with A Clockwork Orange.” In response, the boys suited up in an array of improvised costumes and filmed this minstrel-like, ’20s feel clip for “Huff + Puff” in the outskirts of Nairobi.

Watch Elsaphan Njora, Kevin (K2) Maina and all of JAB duke it out and throw down some serious moves in A Tale of Graceless Shuffling above. The video-challenge is a part of the upcoming documentary The Big C. Find “Huff + Puff” on Just A Band’s excellent 82 LP. -
Video: "Shattered" (Trailer)
Posted: December 8, 2011, 8:18 pm by KenyaChristian
"Shattered" tells the story of a woman whose traumatic childhood in a seemingly ideal middle class family becomes a precursor to a life of turmoil, depression, and self destructive behaviour. Inspired by several true life stories, the plot of "Shattered" will keep the viewer enraptured from beginning to end as the protagonist Keziah Njema (Rita Dominic) struggles to overcome enduring psychological destruction caused by years of abuse.

Music Seen! Ma3 - "Beba Beba"
Posted: November 25, 2011, 7:31 pm by KenyaChristian
After the wait, the album has finally arrived. Ma3 (Ma-Three) the “six-piece, quirky Afro-pop band from Nairobi” as they describe themselves recently launched their album Beba Beba to a packed house at the Goethe Institut. And what a cool event it was, with the crowd eager to discover what this not-so-new band had created on their debut album. And has Ma-3 lived up to our expectations, for some yes, but for others like me not quite.
Beba Beba is a decent debut album, but lacks certain should I say, punch. With their groovy, infectious title single “Beba Beba” Ma-3 certainly caught our attention, and placed expectations high for the rest of the album. They certainly got it right with that single (which I admit grew on me), that invites the listener to “have a seat in the mathree.” It is a very apt single filled not only with messages of hope, reconciliation and peace (“spread the smiles and not the arrows”) and also action, (“it starts with me and then to you.”) They no doubt got it right there. The love-groove “Boda” is perfect sunny-day on the open-road kind of song with a soft yet foot-tapping electric guitar sound. It’s always good to hear non-materialistic professions of love in this day and age when that’s in rare supply.
“Haki Yetu” as it names suggests is a call for citizen rights and civil action, but one feels they could have done much better with such a title. You would imagine chanting such, fists-raised song at a music festival, but that emotion failed to be captured in this song, and Juliani’s exciting, energetic persona is sadly squandered here. Apart from “Siku Moja” a song about ambition and determination for success (which sound quite good live) there is not really any other memorable song.
And this is the paradox with Ma-3’s first offering, they obviously have the talent, experience and potential to do great things (i.e songs). With producer Tim Rimbui’s extensive experience (the albums production/mixing quality is great) and good vocals from Nanjira one would have expected much, much more. It may be unfair to compare, but when you look at a group like Sauti Sol, they made a bang with their debut which is crucial for any artist; first impressions count. Ma-3 may have made a misstep with this album by not giving us that wow, ears perked up, I have to find out more about them- album. Hopefully they will get it right the second time around, but as for now I think they need to spice up their sound and give the listeners something to crave.
::KC::Rating 2.5 out of 5 Stars
"::KC:: expected much more from their anticipated debut. Hopefully 2nd time round will be the charm."

KC Next Artist: Ian Kamau - One Day Soon"
Posted: October 20, 2011, 1:31 am by KenyaChristian
O.K, this cat is serrrious! Folks get ready for Ian Kamau, some fine talent here! He does neo-soul,hip-hop and spoken word and sounds similar-ish to Kendrick Lamar. Heh, I didn't see this one coming. I'm already a fan, where is the CD, when is he coming to Kenya and how much are that tickets? Check him out for yourself.
From his bio: My name is Ian Kamau; I am an artist. I believe that my ability to create and communicate is intimately tied to my purpose in life although I am unsure of exactly how.
Read more on him here and here.
I was born and raised in Toronto to Trinidadian parents who immigrated to North America in 1970. My parents are documentary filmmakers. I grew up around ideas, information and art.
Making music has taken me around the world; it has opened doors to experiences I never dreamed I would have and has put me in the position to have conversations with a diversity of dynamic, interesting individuals.
I believe in community. My creative life extends to my work in arts-based community projects. That side of my life has always run parallel to my artistic life.
I am an artist who wants to continue to be creative and support others in being creative while finding my purpose.

I am really excited and proud of this 27 year-old lady. We need more Kenyan women with determination, confidence and fire like her. I think she is in the mold of Martha Karua. It is sad that young Kenyans are the main people dismissing her. KenyaChristian for one supports your bid, this is a proud moment for democracy in Kenya.

I was pretty sure I had posted this song on the blog, but maybe not. Anyway, I really like this song, it's become a favourite over the years. I only heard it first about 3 years ago and instantly fell in love. It's from Letta's 1976 album of the same name. Music used to be really beautiful back in the day, music doesn't have to be loud and in your face, you can also make beautiful songs, artists are you listening?

July
We crave the sun this time of year
we dream of rays caressing the face
of sleeveless Joy playing kati at noon;
barefoot, bare kneed, carefree on grass.
We hear the radio speak of doom
of torrents of rain, of none at all. Still
we slumber on khangas and dream
of grass underneath, green and thick.
Nairobi's stream will be clean again
-- clean to drink, to watch and wade in --
and on its banks grass will grow,
or else even we shall cease and sleep. -

YOU can Help those facing starvation through the #FeedKe initiative
Posted: July 27, 2011, 5:43 pm by KenyaChristian
I won't say much, I'll just post on this imitative from a blogpost on another site. I heard Safaricom just waived the fee when you send in. I sent Ksh300 today, please spare a meal today and contribute. May God bless you, and thankyou @ahmedsalims your initiative is an aswer to my prayers. We dont need to wait for gava, this is how we change our country, grassoots movements.
After 1 WEEK - #FeedKEA week ago I started this initiative of having Kenyans Sacrifice A Meal to help Feed Kenya!!! My initial TARGET was 10,000 Kenyans with atleast a minimum of 250/=Ksh donated to The Kenya Red Cross Society under #FeedKE Account Name. What amazed me is the response of us Kenyans – everyone who heard about it; shared it, talked about it and also some acted on it!!!Today, I post what we have collected so far and what YOU have donated as a Kenyan!!!As at 26th July 2011 from 172 donations we have collected 140,880/= KshI would like to appreciate all who have taken part in this so far, who also donated upto 40-50 Meals and who also are not around the country but made donations online… On behalf of everyone involved, I say Thank You and God Bless you!!!!We still are way behind Kenyans. We still have 3 MILLION Kenyans in starvation, We still have Children dying – this tells a lot. Tells us our future is clearly NOT in our hands, if we cannot look after our children, our tomorrow leaders, where are we really heading to??It’s so painful to watch the News and see this child who you may never know is tomorrow’s president? We cannot tell the future, but we can act on the present!!! And the present is helping Our People. Present is, YOU sending and sharing the little you can. Present is YOU having your neighbor, family friends all do the same. The present is to stand on your feet and say it from your heart – YOU ARE A KENYAN and you WILL HELP KENYA!!! Present is overlooking the past but focusing on making a difference in the present and building a future. We can only do this if YOU decide its TIME We ACT!! We can only make this happen if YOU say it your choice to either build this country or ignore it and let it suffer!!!We can do this Kenyans YES WE CAN DO IT and today I ask for 1 MORE WEEK to have all of you take part in this, talk about it, share it, act on it and make everyone you know do it!!!!This isn’t for me nor you this is for this COUNTRY which with no doubt, is bigger than all of us!!! We are the change we want we are the lives we want, we are the leaders we want and we are the ones to make it happen….My fellow brother and sister, LETS JUST DO THIS:
- On M-Pesa Paybill to ‘10,000’ Acc ‘feedke’

Amy Winehouse -"You gave me hope in music again" RIP
Posted: July 23, 2011, 12:57 am by KenyaChristian
I am so sad and depressed by this right now. It's like gosh..all I can ask is WHY..you know? *SIGH!!** I dont think you understand, she is(was) like my top 2 favourite artists right now(apart from Nneka I think). The thing I love about Amy is she gave me hope in music again, hope that there are artists out there with real talent, with great lyrics, who are pushing boundaries. Amy Winehouse was instrumental in reviving pop-soul music in the UK and US for cyin out loud. She made American singers look bad, and showed them how soul should really be done again- made them rediscover their creation! I ve listened to Back to Black more times than i can count just exploring her voice, and sound, every note she sang and change and her no-holds barred, expose-it-all intelligently written lyrics were soo great to hear. This is just sad, I was used to regularly check sites for any news on a new album. I know she was currently on tour, I also scoured the internet for any music I hadnt heard like B-Sides, singles, "unreleased" songs. Yes, I was a huge Amy fan. Who is there to look forward to now with all this crap posing as music coming out now. I am depressed, she didnt have enough time to give us more albums. Its like Minnie Riperton, taken too soon, or Lauryn Hill with her inabilty to recapture her former self. I guess we are stuck with her two classic albums. i hope she had already completed her third album, but I'm pretty sure she had recorded a number of songssince Back to Black, w'ell have to wait and see. She is already a legend up there with the Aretha's, Ella's, Billie'e, Minnie's and the other greats. Dang it! Taken too soon. Why do the greats have to be taken??!! I hope this will lead peopel to look at just how bad drugs are,and greater initaitives to get drugs out of our communities. Amy, thanks for the great music you gave me.You gave my hope.

Someone has stolen his soul, mumbles the father as he sits huddled in a corner. Abila is shocked and confused but wants to help his father and goes in search of a suitable cure.Supported by his friend Shiku who is the same age as him, he learns that his father has gambled his soul away in the company of a spiritual woman.
The teenager doesn’t want to believe it and sets about looking for the witch.

The show's host is Njeri Wangari a renown Poet and blogger.

Video: "Ndoto Za Elibidi" (Trailer)
Posted: July 2, 2011, 6:19 pm by KenyaChristian
The plot pivots around the theme of acceptance and love as the protagonists – parents, four daughters and their lovers – come to terms with HIV and ghetto life. Cutting back and forth from fiction to documentary, from the original stage play to actual locations, the film takes viewers on two parallel journeys: we watch the story, but we are also watching it through the eyes of the ghetto audience.

Video: The First Grader (Trailer)
Posted: June 24, 2011, 11:00 pm by KenyaChristian
In a small, remote mountain top primary school in the Kenyan bush, hundreds of children are jostling for a chance for the free education newly promised by the Kenyan government. One new applicant causes astonishment when he knocks on the door of the school. He is Maruge (Litondo), an old Mau Mau veteran in his eighties who is desperate to learn to read at this late stage of his life. He fought for the liberation of his country and now feels he must have the chance of an education so long denied--even if it means sitting in a classroom alongside six year-olds.
The First Grader is a heart warming and inspiring tale of one man's fight for what he believes is his right in order to overcome the burdens of his past. It is a triumphant testimony to the transforming force of education. As Maruge himself said, "the power is in the pen". -

Video: Plan B - "Can Things Get Better?"
Posted: June 6, 2011, 5:39 pm by KenyaChristian
What’s the Plan?
Hello. We call ourselves Plan B.
Kenyans are bombarded daily by all sorts of issues: scandals, price hikes, unemployment, years of poverty, extremely petty politics, Twitter scandals and commissions that make reports that everyone ignores – all this comes to us through an institution of media which (if not distracted by their obsession with sex – enough already!) doesn’t necessarily ask the right questions.
Anyone looking at the current ‘youth leaders‘ would think that young people in Kenya are a rowdy, unfocused, naughty lot – not fit to lead anything.
What’s the plan? We’re trying to create a space where sensible young Kenyans can discuss the future of this country and how we can get better as a country. We believe that there are so many young people in this country who know what can be done, how things should be done – and we’re going to find them.
We’ve started off by asking young journalists, artists and activists who are movers in their fields for their opinions, and now we want your opinions. Can we afford mortgages? Do we have health insurance? Is it worth it? Do we think we can raise our own children in the current circumstances? Will we bother to vote again after the 2007/8 fiasco? You tell us.
We don’t have answers ourselves – if there are any answers, you probably already have them.
Can Things Get Better? Join the Conversation.
The Team.

A collection of remixes we've made since 2009 when we started doing live performances and DJ sets. Released on the occasion of "Kudishnyao!" - our second video art exhibition hosted by the Goethe-Institut Nairobi.
These remixes extend back to 2009, so there's some old music in here, hopefully it's still enjoyable. Recommended dosage: Gather 2 or more friends, pop this in and play it loudly in their direction. Observe.

Could scientists have really discovered the lost city of Atlantis? I randomly read an article in a Newsweek about this and I was amazed I had not heard about it. Anyway here is a National Geographic special on it that was recently aired. i've not even watched it yet. Plato is the person who mentioned the city of Atlantis in his writings. It would be fascinating if the city has been really dicovered. I know the claim has been made many times before, but I feel they may be on to something this time. Time will tell as they do more excavating at the site.

*sigh* it is so very sad that mainstream outlets decided to stop giving airtime to conscious, uplifting entertainment. I am soo glad I expereinced a time when radio, TV had balance. You could hear your Snoop Dogg & Dr.Dre on the radio then minutes later they would play Digable Planets & Arrested Development. The relentless pursuit of money has turned the world into a bleaker, more plastic place. I feel for kids growing up today who only have Rihanna & Lady Gaga in their playlists. They have missed so much. *double sigh*

Man of the Year..clearly
Posted: December 6, 2010, 4:39 am by KenyaChristian
Man of the Year...maybe decade! I love how daring and crazy this guy is! Wow...talk of "enemy of the state."
Who is surprised by this though?.If you think the notion of big brother, thought control and imperialism is conspiracy theory stuff, then your naive or in willful ignorance (as I used to be.) Trust me its all real, why do you think this guy is in hiding? Movies don't get more fascinating than this. -
Video Hits Package: 1.2.1 Dionne Farris - "Hopeless"
Posted: December 5, 2010, 11:50 pm by KenyaChristian
Believe it or not I have not thought much of music's quality since the early-mid 90's. Even as a teenager I thought the quality of music had really gone down, and there was not a lot of creativity/effort being put into its making anymore. That's why when I first heard this song I was really blown away and impressed. Even by the time of its release (1997) I felt music was already getting mad lame, that's why it really stood out to me. It is from the Love Jones movie soundtrack which I haven't watched since that period, ( might check that out again:) Anyway this is probably a top 20 song of the 90's for me. Enjoy!
(Two things I never knew until this post; I've always thought Randy Jackson wrote the song, but Van Hunt wrote it, while Randy plays the bass guitar. Dionne Farris sung for Arrested Development, I didn't know that! cool)
If I was a musician serious about my work I wouldn't strive for a song any less than this. -

Noam Chomsky interview with Radio Open Source
Posted: November 4, 2010, 6:39 pm by KenyaChristian
In this interview Mr.Chomsky talks about the Tea Party movement, President Obama, the fallacy of war and “national interest,” the “free market” system, environmental destruction & nuclear arms being humanities greatest threat among a host of other topics. I can say that Noam is one of the few heroes I have on this planet. His words have just opened my eyes to how naïve I was to a lot of global issues. I love how he exposes a lot of the lies majority of people are brainwashed with by the powers-that-be.
I wish he would talk about Africa more though, I would love to hear his thoughts on the destruction our continent has been put through. On a tangential topic I can't stand how Kenya doesn't have any serious public access radio station that deals with serious issues; its full of mostly garbage.
