..of dreams and JUST A (brilliant) BAND
Its been a minute since I posted...Heres the couple of cents...FIRST if you dont know who JUST A BAND are then you need to get with the program hombre... post-haste!!! This has to be one of the most eclectic and creative music groups to come out of Kenya in a while...I might go as far as to say..out of Africa infact! They not only make the music....a delightful fusion of techno, acoustic, Afro, funk...etc...they also do their own videos, photography (jim chuchu {photography}),animation...and from one of my sources -I hear they are generally really nice guys:-)
Yoda would say 'TALENT, they have MAAADDD' and then he'd get a little excited, and proceed to swish his light saber in the air as he pumped it to the funky techno beats that pimp the remix/remake of Five Alives 'Oh Ndio'!
..Decide for yourself...And then if when you like it...please buy it...and support the Kenyan music industry :-)

I also wanted to post this poem:
A Dream Deferred - Langston Hughes
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
This is something to think about for anyone who lives (like I have) waiting to do things tommorow...-for real..it never comes!
