SUNSET DATE DOWN THE REMINISCE


    Yesterday the date was down the memory lane. At Reminisce every one who enjoy the ever fresh glow of the golden years was all ears as the Sundowner crew engulfed the club Reminisce. Club Reminisce is located at the mouth of Wilson airport along Langata highway. You break onto your right just when you are about to enter the airport and avoid hitting into the Red Cross Offices. The ambience was cool for an evening date. The old mingled freely with the young as music slowly stole the show sending old age through the window.

    The day that started with horrifying temperatures slowly went calm as the evening wore down. That temperature was restored at the Reminisce when the Sundowner Crew landed. Their music unmatched with the wine in the cellar slowly brought life  into the otherwise dying day.

      The  romance started with the sundowner host, the ever ebullient Catherine Ndonye, a woman with beauty unmatched; that I believe only Leonardo Da Vinci could do her just when it comes to making a portrait of her. Her smile reveals that ever elusive gap and her voice keeps her audience ears yearning for more of her. Can I describe her dress code? No, I will do injustice but she looked awesome given that it is winter in Nairobi. Well, she tuned the audience with lovely Sundowner classics that you can only here on KBC English Service. Her playlist was incredible for she has a knack for good music.The major undoing was that the sound was a bit too low which I think the organizers will have to pull up their stockings though.
Thereafter, Sir Elvis of the Blakman Sounds took to the podium and his music inundated passion among the members of the audience. His voice reverberated sending several members of the audience waist wiggling to the lovely country music. 

      You could think that classics are never meant for Kenya since the Bend Over revolution took over. If your mind bore such thoughts then you better start thinking again since the lovely music would never go undanced. Those who did not have the guts to hit the dance floor for the fear of the Grapevine Camera(Grapevine is Program on Channel one TV, KBC), were slowly nodding their heads as the evening wore on. More and more requests were being made and I had to not only marvel at how Sir Elvis handled them but also how he managed to pull out the satisfaction of his audience lust and love. 

    The question of helping the poor boy, Sammy who has a strange skin infection never escaped the revelers mind as they gladly sung to the song by USA FOR AFRICA, WE ARE THE WORLD. Sammy has a strange skin infection and needs our help. For Sundowner fans well wishers the number you can send your contribution to is  0703462714. The compassionate fans want to be part of the helping hand.

EXPLORING FEMINISM IN BLOSSOMS OF THE SAVANNAH AND A DOLL'S HOUSE

Feminism emerged as a movement to fight for the social, political and economic rights of the women. It is more of a political movement that recognises the individuality and sexuality of women and how historically and religion wise have been segregated. Before the advent of feminism, women lived under the tutelage of their male counterparts. For instance, a woman did not have any right to choose whom to marry, it was the prerogative of the male family member to choose. In the TV Serial, Rome, Julius 'Octavian' Caesar, who later became Augustus Caesar, makes a decision that affects both his mother and sister in a way unimaginable. The mother, Artia of the Julii is in love with Marcus Antonius (Mark Antony) and she plans to marry him. However, Caesar decides it will be impossible for the two lovebirds to make it official. For political reasons, he settles for his sister Octavia as a suitable wife for Mark Anthony! There are many examples of male subjugation in numerous cultu...

VIHIGA COUNTY- THE ECONOMY, IN FOCUS: MUDETE TEA FACTORY, A WATER DOWN OR ???

         Mudete Tea Factory is located in Vihiga county of Western Kenya. The factory Is to serve the Tea rich Western Kenya especially Vihiga county which receives an annual rainfall of about 1500mm to 2000mm. The factory established in the mid 1990s has seen a fair share of progress but has remained a dimunitive figure in the progress of the county. One could argue that maybe it is due to the fact that the tea farmers within the region are much less reluctant in upping their game to produce higher and quality tea for the factory. The factory which is supposed to run on a 24hour basis goes on occasions where it runs out of tea to process!Clearly someone is sleeping on the job. the wellbieng of this factory fundamentally lies in two people; the farmer and the farmer.therefore this factory can only be a success story if the farmer realised how much he can reap from the factory. But one problem comes into mind when you talk about the farmer not del...

NEGATIVE CULTURAL PRACTICES AMONG THE PEOPLE OF NASILA IN BLOSSOMS OF THE SAVANNAH

The book Blossoms of the Savannah explores both the positive and negative cultural practices. H. R Kulet describes intimately those cultural practices he believes are best and on the other hand, lets us in on some of the cultural practices he believe were injurious. Interestingly, the negative cultural practices are aimed at women. The most poignant cultural practice that negatively affects women is Female genital mutilation. Although according to Parmuat, the practice was started by women to resist the evil Ilarinkoi, it continued to cause wanton pain and torture on women. Taiyo and Resian are determined to fight it. Resian manages to evade the brutal practice however Taiyo barely makes it having been forcibly cut. FGM is a global menace affecting millions of women in Africa and Asia. Although its benefits are only anthropological, its effects are very damning and could lead to death.  Second among the negative Nasilian culture is early marriage. Resian still has go...
