In Kenya end month means its salary time so every club is packed with people "baptizing" their salaries. It sounds good to go and have fun in clubs, pool parties, and "spoiling your friends", but owe an to you when you learn that the purported fun does not last a single day. I am not at any point disputing going to clubs; after all, they are there for businesses and they need customers. Actually, it feels refreshing after a full pack week then a person gets a break in a drinking spree. However, people usually complain the next day of hangovers, financial mismanagement constraints, aching body parts, and numerous hue and cries. They say only a fool does the same thing expecting different results; therefore, if you need to salvage yourself from this slavery, then pay attention I have an option.
Kenya National Theater is a national heritage site where great artists culminate and sprawl to the entire corners of the world. This Saturday, 7th June, i decided to pay a visit to this dungeon that produces the best in the nation. It has been a while since i went to KNT due to unavoidable circumstances. So this Saturday afternoon i almost broke into the afternoon nap when I caught up with this group, H-art the band, on TV. Oh my God!!! this group is blessed, talented, impeccable, and creative, comprising of a singer, a poet, and an instrumentalist. Wow what a combination, what a blend, what an entertainment; surprisingly, i didn't fall to slumber. Ouch, the TV presenter announces that they are leaving after just a snippet presentation and i just felt, and everyone else in deed based on their tweets, wanted more. Fortunately or unfortunately, they just said they are headed to Kenya National Theater (KNT) to curtain raise for a play. I did not hesitate, but just wore my boots and in an hour or so, I was comfortably in my seat at KNT. I wouldn't give much details but the group mesmerized everyone present, everyone was clapping, singing along and booking them for a performance.
The play came to put some icing on the cake because from my perspective it was thoroughly rehearsed, proper casting who were devoted to what they were doing, and it was just a deluxe performance. "The aesthetic beauty of arts at its best" is a phrase i coined to describe the performance. For the first time I heard a rendition of Beyonce's hello, Zahara lilowe, Bruno Mars grenade and Rihanna's umbrella in a local dialect, Kikuyu to be precise. Words cant explain the amount of fun I/we had in the hall, the performers never missed a word, tone, vocals, transition or rhyme of those songs in Kikuyu. By the way i made a new friend and since my car is still on transit from Dubai we had to walk to the bus station together. We chanted about the experience at KNT and for sure she confessed that she will never, ever miss any performance during the weekends. Just check it out for yourselves peeps.
