The tears might not dry for a long while;the pain might just be
permanent. Tanzania n the world says goodbye to one of the greats in the
African movie industry....STEVEN KANUMBA life stole,gone too
young....youtube these; Nenda salama. A tribute song done by
Keetu...lets join n lift our souls in saying fare thee well GREAT ONE.
Keetu is a very gifted Kenyan born songwriter,vocalist,dancer,actress,human rights activist. she is a firm believer in freedom of expression for oneself and the multitude.
Talking to Keetu b4 and after her recording session,i sort to find out
what drove her to write such a passionate song as "TRIBUTE TO THE LATE
KANUMBA" These is what she had to say," He was a man who would have
found a way to take all stars from the sky,put them in his pocket and
walk around like he had not done any extraordinary thing.."she looks
away,"He was TRULY GREAT."
After some silence she looked me straight in the eye and with evident
pain and said," I had plans already in motion to work with him,i feel
robbed...." And with that she stood and i had to accept that that would
be the end of our conversation then...but i look forward to finishing it
but if any of you get to the end of this line b4 me i guess i'll have
my turn of being the reader.
but one thing is for certain the voice i heard charging through the
studio walls as she bid her brother away best way she knows how might
just become another GREAT. |
