CHIZI TO LAUNCH SECOND ALBUM

Self proclaimed crown prince of benga will launch his sophomore album in July 30 at the prestigious Kenya National Museum grounds. Dan ‘Chizi’ Aceda has titled his album Benganology because, “I am convinced that Benga is the music of the gods! I think it’s the true music of Kenya. So I dedicated the entire album to creating a fusion that would reach all other genres that I am better versed in like reggae, RnB, jazz and hip hop. Still I am so happy now that it’s come out as a catch phrase and is running all over the cyberspace,” Chizi chimed.
The album features a collabo with Eric Wainaina dubbed Guns and Arrows which Chizi decribes as “extremely poignant”, then there's my collabo with Wyre, Doris Onyango and Sanaipei Tande.
The concert will be recorded and packaged as a live DVD. Entrance to the show is set at Sh 800, which includes a free souvenir copy of the album or Sh 500 for ticket only.

KENYAN VIDEO GAME WINS INTERNATIONAL PRIZE

Pamoja Mtaani, the action-based videogame pilot launched in 2008 aimed at fight against AIDS towards a HIV free generation won an international award.
The behaviour change video game, created by Warner Bros, won the Global Business Coalition’s Business Excellence Award at the awards dinner in Washington, D.C late last year.
Pamoja Mtaani tells the story of five East Africans, Judy the med student, Sean the techie, Lefty the footballer, Lady D. the musician, and Georgy the tout, as an everyday ride turns catastrophic when their bus is highjacked. Each individual experiences a loss, and the five strangers must come together on a quest for justice.
It became a hit after big names in the Kenyan music industry were involved in its production. They include Jua Cali, Wyre and Atemi who lend their voices to the video game, Ennovator who produces the soundtrack and renown playwright Cajetan Boy who helped with the story line.
