Concert things....international guest..wow!!

 Saturday Aug 30 rolled in and I was super excited!

The one and only Cece Winans was gonna be in town and the venue was Uhuru gardens. From the great drone shots on Instagram we saw many red chairs and actually ASSUMED all the tickets will have seating. Turns out these days concerts don't have seats for the last category....did we know??? Nope!!

so we reached venue early at 4pm and lo and behold....yes....no seats!!


This really dampened my mood! I felt so conned....but as people came in they laid out their maasai shukas, popped up their umbrellas...they seemed to know!! The sun was still up from 4pm to 6.30pm so we were in the sun all this time ai ai ai...had to keep my bandana against my face to keep from the sunburn........very uncomfortable...

There was a couple about 70yrs...and they were also in the no-seats section - and I was like, organisers should afford to have special seats for senior citizens ama?

Anyways, 7.45pm Cece Winans came in and my mood lifted kabisa!



The concert was grand...just 90 minutes...we were in the front line just behind the barrier (see paparzzi shot above) ...and sang along in full volume! the stage was magical with lighting giving all the necessary effects to wow us..... one of the songs was done so beautifully and i didn't know the song....we were sure it was a new song...we checked you tube and the song was released 11months ago!!!! weuhhhh...He is Worthy is the name of the song....check it out!




Last time I saw Cece Winans was in 2010 when she came to Kenya, and the event was at Bomas at Kenya...which was a perfect venue, since its auditorium style, so we were all seated and all could have excellent view of the stage.... 

Next time I go for a concert, I need to be prepared to pay for top tier tickets

Else, I left there fully blessed by the experience :)
