Here is a Valentine's weekend plan for you. Heartstrings Kenya once again proved themselves to be masters of physical comedy with their  production of Wife Begins at Dinner, starting with Cyprian Osoro’s rigorous exercise workout that was energising, accelerating and an excellent warm-up to a highly animated and witty show. It’s an apparently fluff story about the hazards, pitfalls and liabilities of the ‘come-we-stay’ style of coupling that’s so popular among young Kenyans today.

Yesterday I was listening to a show by Adelle Onyango named #UrbanAfrica [you sh ould listen in]. It's a show that plays purely African Jams and Bamzigi was asked about "Who is King" Well I can't remember his exact words but his answer got me thinking, is it really the Lyrics that make someone the King in this Hip hop world?It takes a whole lot for one to be at the Top of the food chain.
