The Kingdom of Kush

-


Poet Namatsi Lukoye, Hiphop artists and Vocalists Renata and Luki the Monster are here with a show; in collaboration with makeup artist Jaybee the Mua and models from The Sekt.
With Venue sponsorship from Safaricom Michael Joseph Centre, the group have designed ‘the great forgotten Egyptian Kingdom of Kush’. With this, the visual artists have to curve our images of ancient Kush as well as design some futuristic fashion that goes with the theme. We want to dive deeper into creativity and pull out every fiber of art we can touch.
Why are we doing this; - last year our band felt a strong wind as we lost our lead guitarist/vocalist Cee L Nuke two weeks before a show. The whole year none of us was able to perform as we were dealing with the loss – but sometimes darkness gives us time to find light. Through catharsis we went into creation and have come up with a series of art work music that we would like to share with the world. We picked the title – The insignificant Few, because we realized that the world has preferences when it comes to art, the media only supports mainstream art – and most underground artists have to work twice harder. We want to show the world the power of underground. 
The show will also be blessed by acts from:- Tracy (Kiu Music), Zeshari, Ivy Namu, Lisya Music, Steve Munjal (Red Acapella), Amo Kamili and Tess.

Disrupt - Who am I

Often the universe leads us to paths that lead us to new roads - I recently went to a the land of seeds; thanks to Hivos. Here are the poems I wrote for Disrupt. Who am I I am a seed in the soil A farmer in the field The seed company I am the link – I am the bridge I am here and I have something to say No pain no gain but this train I ride is too long The rain I see, fall is too plain It fills me with needless pain Ni usiku wa manane giza kote imeenea Amelala shujaa, mkulima – kesho ifike jembe akashike Si usingizi mzito ni ule wa kudukuadukua Ule wa kuhofia – wa kufikiria Kidogo amelala, kidogo anaamka wasi wasi – kila mara Tukajajua mja huyu ni  bingwa! Kwani sote twamtegemea Vita ametupigania – chakula mezani kifike -  lazima nimzungumzie He stands alone – feels alone – looks for hope Stripped of rights  In a country so rich I am a seed in the soil A farmer in the field The seed company I am the link – I am the bridge I am here

Love Is Not A Fight by Warren Barfield

-
Love is not a place To come and go as we please It's a house we enter in Then commit to never leave So lock the door behind you Throw away the key We'll work it out together Let it bring us to our knees Love is a shelter in a raging storm Love is peace in the middle of a war And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door No, love is not a fight but it's something worth fighting for To some, love is a word That they can fall into But when they're falling out Keeping that word is hard to do Love will come to save us If we'll only call He will ask nothing from us But demand we give our all I will fight for you Would you fight for me? It's worth fighting for

A complement to you

A woman like me, is rare But not too rare she is there Her intentions are pure and present as her love Love overflowing , her actions consistent_ So unblur your third eye’s vision and visualize yourself in the presence of a queen, Your queen, not here to state laws  But do the things kings and queens do Your queen, taking care of you and living the dream with you Your queen, sharing this human experience with you Whether in the kitchen washing dishes, or, Working through the night… you see she knows she owns the table too A woman like me, loyal, ignoring temptations focused_ In love with herself and her passion is there She is kind and that may be her weakness And yes, she has her flaws forgive her shortcomings, tell her so she can work on them A woman like me, loves sex, and knows her sexual rights Is in charge of her womb_  She knows she shouldn't depend on you, but travel with you A woman like me is not a part of you, She is a complement to you © Namatsi Lukoye
