Kwani? Open Mic, Apr 7th 2009 @ Club Soundd
Kwani Trust is inviting you to Kwani? Open Mic on Tuesday 7th April 2009 7pm at Club Soundd, Hamilton House Kaunda Street Entry ksh 100/- only.
Featured Poet will be Joseph Wambua aka Jemedari.
He was born in the coast and raised in Nairobi, getting exposure to various urban forms of art. He landed a recording deal with Mtu Kawaida and is currently working on an album. Poetically, he started reciting solo verses in primary school and slowly developed into the more mature poetry witnessed at the Kwani Open Mic nights.
His style is laced with alliteration and wordplay, naming it “floetry”- a fusion of freestyle rap and poetry.
He focuses on comical yet artistic wordplay to depict society in its ideal light and shed the shine on the underdog. He describes himself as “overlooked, underrated, sidestepped and backstabbed”, based on his journey through the arts. Poetry to him is life and life is poetry in motion. He is currently polishing up a six track poetry compilation entitled “The Pain”, produced by SpEnt VooDoo.
“What is life, but poetry in motion??” – Julius Caesar.
Open Mic slots are open from 6pm all are welcome to register.
