Groove Awards 2012
Much respect to the Mo Sound crew for putting together another great event. I can’t wait for Groove to go Africa-wide with the accolades being sought after like Stellars and Doves. And salutations to all the nominees and this year’s winners. It is because of you Kenyan music is flying high on the continent. May the Almighty God increase your influence. And as DK Krowbar said, ‘We are just vessels.’
Shooting at Nairobi Baptist was a challenge initially because front stage was too low. Shooting from there would have given me a worm’s eye view. I found a spot on the right side of the auditorium and shot mostly from there, away from the crowded centre aisle.
Here’s a selection of the photos I took, with a special bias to Juliani. My Canons loved watching him on stage.
