Just heard this via Wassapangaz and was moved by the message that came out. Listen HERE : 'Vumilia' on record agaiinst HIV. It is a powerful thing for these YOUNG peoople, considered the domineering voice of reason and culture for many young kenyans. It is great to see them use their gifts for something that is not just about making themselves more money.
Hopefully this will recieve some MASSIVE airplay at radio stations back home. At first it was almost comical to listen to as I listened to Nonini, of 'We KAMU' fame, croon about abstinence, but i'll cut him some slack. All entertainment value I hope and these are his real sentiments.
All the performances are timam, definitely worth the listen.
On Abstinence: Do you think abstinence is harder to do when there is no motivating religeous drive behind it? Should the fear of death be the number one motivating factor behind the call for abstinence? Will it be effecive when people have already witnessed the sweeping effect of death in their villages, families, homes? Would it be sheer naevity to push for abstinence o the basis of purity instead? As in honour/respect thy body sort of purity?
Fear is an incredibly strong influence in the decisions we make, however something in me has always told me that Decisions based on strength/principle are the defining ones that last. Maybe thats what we should be striving to elicit from our peers and our youth: The principle that will lead them to abstinence.
