For Charles Lwande - Cee L Nuke
Our sky
has darkened without the light and life of Charles Lwande, who the art world
embraced as Cee L Nuke, one of Kenya’s outstanding artists, vocalists, rapper, and
poet. 35th Slam King, aarban cypher champ, amazing vocalist and
captivating guitarist.
The
countless souls who drank of the nectar of your beautiful music will surely
miss you. May your legacy live on in those who were influenced and touched by
the magic of your voice. May those who are broken - hearted by your loss find strength in the beauty of your work.
For your family and friends, may they find peace and comfort in dealing with your departure - we surely will see each other again.
It has
been a privilege to be rained on by your essence.
For Charles Lwande, For Cee
We marched in to
sing our hearts out,
We came to Rap and recite some poetry
We took shots at the
back to tease our adrenalin!
And you would run to
the front– who would deny it, Cee
You were the best
selfie photographer I had ever met
We were bonded; it’s
as if the same blood ran through our veins.
I remember
We have cried, we
have laughed, we have sang and yes we have danced
But still none of
that is enough
Oh how fickle life can
be
How can we, how can
we even begin to deal with this
