Lwanda: A Ghetto story musical

Eric Wanaina was on campus yesterday presenting his musical Lwanda. As always, an excellent production by this amazing young man. The music was delivered perfectly by the band and the singers were unbelievable. A friend wondered that there are such great voices in Kenya (tsk!!!) Of course there are.
Let me tell you about the cast. Lwanda...handsome, short, light fella with a voice that made all the women in the audience swoon. He enjoyed himself on stage and it was catching. He engaged the audience without any overt actions outside his regime. He also captured the true character of a ghetto hero: chilled out, smooth with the women, charismatic...I am very curious about his background...
There was the woman politician- Halimau I think her name was- beautiful voice, great vocal control, appropriate body language, and she possessed the stage. Mind that she is pregnant but she had enough energy to overshadow her fellow performers. She was my favourite character.
There was the village oboho, who had a friend called Karis- there's one of those in evey mtaa, i.e. a Karis. He was natural, he was funny, he was energetic; he is an actor and a great singer- he did the "He!he!he!hehehe!" song very well, and almost out did Steve from Sterling Quality's concert, "Sterling at 10"...
The last time this concert was shown was at the Godown Art centre and it cost some amount to watch it. It was therefore a pleasure to have students view this show live, for free. There were free t- hsirts as well and bands courtesy of the Uraia progrmamme,that promote participation in the coming General elections.
The performance was sooooo timely, I wish it could be made into a film, a musical film. It would work great as a civic education piece and it can be shown all over the country over and over again without the constraints of expense, travel and time.
Eric, you are doing a great job, I love your music, and I pray that you do more than you already have. Blessings to you and your family!!! Tuonane Club Afrique!!
