The Moipei Quartet - Kenya's musical angels

The Moipei Quartet

Well, you may already know that I hate most of our local Kenyan music. But once in a while, there are some refreshing Kenyan sounds to be discovered, such as Sauti Sol or Daddy Owen.



And today I am introducing you to some heavenly Kenyan angels. The Moipei triplets Mary, Martha and Magdalene and their younger sister Seraphine form the all girl music group, Moipei Quartet. These talented Maasai girls have very beautiful voices (well trained by their father Nicholas ole Moipei who is also their teacher) and often perform 'a capella' or accompanied by piano only, mostly in classical styles. Some of their songs also bring us a message, like Mbiu ya Mgambo, which highlights the plight of girls in the Maasai community.



The Moipei Quartet's debut CD (+bonus DVD) is finally out! It's now available at Nakumatt, entitled 'The Moipei Quartet - In the Land of the Lion', and you may want to have a look at the preview below.



Also please put the Moipei family in your prayers as Seraphine Moipei, the youngest of the quartet singers, was admitted to hospital in January with a brain tumor. Fortunately, she's now out of hospital and getting better.Source URL: https://pussyhotnaked.blogspot.com/search/label/Maasai

Uaso Nyrobi

Muthoni - a Nairobi born and raised singer-songwriter and social entrepreneur -  sings about Nairobi in her wonderful new reggae-soul-jazz hit Cool Waters. Indeed, in 1899, Mile 327 of the East African Railway was established on a patch of papyrus bog known as Uaso Nyrobi (Maasai for ‘place of cold waters’), the last area of flat land where the engineers camped to figure out their ascent up the eastern shoulder of the Great Rift Valley. 

Over the years, Nairobi has been referred to by different nicknames, including the following:
• Nairobi
• Nyrobi (referring to the Maasai word mentioned above)
• City in the Sun
• Green City in the Sun
• Safari Capital of the World
• Nairobbery (referring to the insecurity situation in Nairobi)
Is this list complete or do you know any other names for Nairobi? And which is your favourite one?

Let's learn something from the Maasai

The world should make more use of the skills of Africa's nomadic peoples to help combat the challenges of climate change. Pastoral communities such as the Maasai in Kenya could pass on survival skills; the Maasai have learnt over generations how to sustainably live in arid and semi-arid areas. Skills which the Maasai learned over generations roaming with their livestock across the deserts and savannas could be of huge value in adapting to climate change. Traditional pastoral systems of resource management have always included a strong adaptive element. Pastoralists have long used traditional risk-management systems. These include a range of livestock- and land-management strategies, alongside community support schemes.

Pastoralists’ experiences can offer lessons for governments and other stakeholders wishing to support climate change adaptation activities. But the Maasai and other pastoralists will need to be supported by appropriate and relevant policies. In a report released today, Survival of the Fittest, Oxfam calls for governments and development partners in the region to invest in more sustainable development polices in arid and semi-arid (ASAL) areas, which will ensure pastoralists, cope with the impact of climate change.Source URL: https://pussyhotnaked.blogspot.com/search/label/Maasai
