Last weekend, we went to the Rift Valley Music Festival (http://riftvalleyfestival.co.uk/). This is where apparently all of the ex-pats in Kenya were over the weekend. Best quote of the evening said by one of the performers:
“The well intentioned ex-pat is a slave to many things, but he is not to the rhythm”
Highlights included Mookomba (an amazing band from Zimbabwe http://www.mokoomba.com/), Tusker, and going to the Nairobi Java House
Things that left much to be desired: Finnish rappers (rapping in Finnish) — the only words I could make out were Ikea and Swedish meatballs (sorry, I don’t have any Finnish references).
I’m on the 39 bus and I literally just laughed out loud about the Finnish rappers. Oh what I would’ve given to see that!!!
Meatballs.
