Kenya is a country of
contrasts; a passive aggressive chamaa that suddenly erupts like magma when the
right catalyst is introduced. We remain silent when we should be vocal, and vile when we should be subtle and scintillating.
Look at our keyboard ninja proclivity, that says more about who we are than the Maasai images and elephants gallivanting in
Maasai Mara under a sunset sky. Yes yes, sweeping statements, I shouldn't generalize!. All the same, we are an interesting lot.
It is with that in mind that this Sunday, two spoken word
artists go “head to head” to shatter this festering fault of ours. Mufasa and Teardrops, have
teamed up to venture where angels fear to tread. They will lay their hearts
bare, for all and sundry to see. Dubbed "Unchained Voices", it will set the stage for what will hopefully be more people plucking up the courage to make their voices heard, and their truths told. LOUDLY
The icing on the cake will be their debut albums,
which will be unveiled on the day ready to be snatched up by eager poetry
die-hards. Teardrops, known for his flawless flow and Sheng mastery, will be unveiling his long awaited debut offering "Memoirs of a Wordsmith".
Mufasa, known for his raging roar, juxtaposition of imagery and emotive delivery will be unleashing his debit masterpiece, 'Inside out".
And since they decided to serve a bodacious buffet, music will be by the vivacious Vereso, salubrious Sarabi and heartthrobs Hart_the_band. Talk of effervescent art! Unchained Voices will also feature mime, expressive dance, painting, and graffiti!
Abeg, what more do you need to be told that this deserves prominence on your calenders people?
