Rapper Chief Chef; Lady DJ IK and DJ Jimmy to Rock the Party
Mr. Charles Otieno Owiyo, the Secretary of Maison Africa, has contacted KSB to say that the Nyadundo show earlier advertized has been cancelled. He noted that the organization had rushed with the advertisement because of a misconception that a deal had been reached with Nyadundo who is currently in Germany as part of his European tour.
According to a statement mailed to KSB by Mr. Owiyo, Nyadundo was expected in Stockholm this week to sign a show contract scheduled for December and it is during this trip that Maison Africa was seeking to get him appear as a guest at the planned Märsta bash. It was against this background that a promotion flyer was designed and sent to KSB for publication.
Mr. Owiyo told KSB on telephone that Maison Africa has just discovered that the flyer tended to confirm the show while the reality on the ground was that negotiation had not been completed. “We had underrated the possible impact of the flyer while hoping that the deal would be sealed”, Mr. Owiyo said as he took responsibility.
“Our organization apologizes to all Kenyans and fans alike for the hurried dispatch of information about the show”, Mr. Owiyo told KSB. He added that the withdrawal of the concert does not mean that Nyadundo will not be in Stockholm because his organization could still reach a deal with the Ohangla artist. “We will update the public in case of any breakthrough in the negotiations”, he said.
Mr. Owiyo said that the Saturday September 24th “Summer Bash” planned by Maison Africa will however continue as had been planned. He said that Kenyan Rap artist “Chief Chef” has arrived in the country from Kenya and that he will be playing at the show along with “Africa Unitez” which will also perform live during the Party.
A special attraction which promises to set the Party on fire is Lady DJ IK, the first Lady DJ in Kenya-Stockholm who has been creating a lot of sensation within the growing Kenya-Stockholm’s DJ industry. She is keeping extremely quiet about her dance-floor strategy and for now, it would be much safer to wait and see.
Another giant entertainer who will be present inna de house to get revelers shaking to the beats is Maestro DJ Jimmy aka Nyakwar Oyundi who has made a name for himself especially within the African boogie community in Stockholm. Jimmy’s known prowess is to be found in lifting guests from their seats on to the dance floor through a careful selection of numbers based on guest preferences, an art which the DJ has perfected over time. Whether you derive pleasure from ohangla, banjuka, zouk or bongo flava, Jimmy will get it into your system with ease.
Mr. Otieno said that Maison Africa has prepared well to make the Party memorable and hoped that a last minute deal will be struck with Nyadundo to bring the ohangla magic to Märsta for the first time ever.
