JAZZ GIRLS LIVE IN CONCERT AND A PLEASANT SURPRISE

The Jazz Girls Concert happened last week on Friday Night and it was awesome. Our opening acts rocked and for our first time performing together in front of an audience, we did a pretty good job. It was mad exciting although there weren't too many people. Thank you all who came for the event. We are organizing for another soon enough so that all those who missed out can come watch. The songs were a compilation of personal compositions by the girls and covers which included, Hugh Masekela's 'the boy is doing it', Sade Adu's 'Is it a Crime' and 'Hear me' by Kelly Clarkson.

Here is a pic of us on stage courtesy of an attendee: Vicky performing 'Hear Me'  She is very ROCK!!

I was pleasantly surprised on Saturday evening by one of Kenya's finest musicians,Sarah Mitaru, who called bearing the best news ever. South African singer-song writer, Zamajobe, was landing in Nairobi in a few hours and she needed a backup vocalist. I was too happy to take the job ( more like a dream). So, the next morning I finally got to meet her. She is super awesome, cool, easy and has a really really amazing voice. We performed at Blankets and Wine, backed up by an amazing band. It was such an amazing experience and I'm glad I got to be that girl.

You need to listen to her to believe how amazing she is. Here is her video for her song Ndawo Yami, from her first album she released in 2004 by the same name.
