Unchained Voices

Noted spoken word artists Mufasa and Teardops hosted Unchained Voices for a sold out audience on Sunday October 12 at Alliance Francaise. The event was a double album release of the albums Inside Out by Mufasa and Memoirs of a Wordsmith by Teardops.

The show hosted by Elsaphan Njora was a lively multi-disciplinary event featuring electric performances from a number of artists. Unik Dancers put Teardrops’ words into movement by creating stunning dance pieces to tracks from the new album. Kenya’s favorite Afro-fusion band Sarabi showed their support by playing their hit songs. H_art the Band also took to the stage with songs including their hit single Uliza Kiatu.

The most inspiring performances of the night however came from Mufasa and Teardrops. Both artists have been creating spoken word pieces in Nairobi for over five years and Unchained Voices was a true testament to how far they have come. Their works covered a variety of topics including: family, politics, Nairobi, love and art. What shone the most though, was their passion for their art.

Mufasa and Teardops are looking forward to hosting more concerts and spreading their words across the continent. Hopefully, this is the beginning of great things for the Kenyan spoken word scene.

Albums are available for purchase at PAWA254, The Sondeka Festival or Mufasa’s website.
