They Squared Nairobi

They are hitting the whole of Africa with their songs, everywhere you go be it in the clubs, music shops along the streets, Matatus, Radio stations and even from neighbor’s houses…it’s them you hear.

The younger generations know their songs better and you will hear them sing along to them. Even Kids are not left out, you will hear them sing the chorus of some of the songs like Do me and wonder how they are quick at mastering such stuff while when it comes to books you have to battle with them for them to read and master a few things.

Rumors circulate that they are trying to emulate Usher but Peter made it clear on Friday 29th at KICC that Usher is the one who looks like P-Square because he is an African after all…..well I personally think they have different styles of singing but may be the dance moves are the ones bringing all this controversy and if it so then I think Chris Brown falls in the same category……what do your think?

I love P-Square and for that I could not afford to miss the show. The show started with a lot of energy, with some of our local artistes entertaining the crowd. Most of them found themselves being rejected by the crowd and were never allowed to continue since bottles, liquor and anything that could fly in the air were thrown at them.

A few artistes managed to get the crowd’s mood by singing their most popular songs, Juakali gave the last performance but at a point he got himself in trouble with the crowd after choosing the wrong girl to sing Sana’s part on the song Kwaheri.

Then came the moment we were all waiting for, we had their voices first and the crowd went loud, then they emerged. They were so energetic that those who got drunk and fell down had the strength to get back on their feet to sing and dance along.

That day I saw how people loved this Niger boyz to the point that some cried….some fainted and other got into trouble with the bouncers while wanting to get hold of the boyz.

They removed their shirts…..you can just imagine the reaction of the present ladies. But that was not all, they jumped into the crowd and that was the last time they saw their shoes, bracelets, socks and other stuffs but they later commented it was ok for their fans to have them. Every one wanted to just touch them but this was short lasted…..bouncers took them back to the dais where Paul found himself with one shoe which he decided to throw to the crowd. That was the end of the show, they left but the crowd still wanted them to stay longer. We hope we’ll have them in future for another electric show.

Africa has a lot of talent and it’s high time we started appreciating our music and embracing our cultures as a continent for this is the way to growth.

Allow me to say……. “P-Square we love you……you truly African”.
