Harare Greets Nairobi

Nairobi gives one so much time to think because of the insane traffic jams.

Kenya Under Konstruction

Zimbo Jam was in Nairobi last week and we were amazed and impressed by all the construction that's taking place in and around the city. New roads, new buildings, new highways. There's construction happening everywhere one looks. At Jomo Kenyata International Airport is a hugeoungous new terminal with multi-level parking being built. Sign of an economy moving forward.

On Meeting Four Winds & Falling in Love in Nairobi

Jambo! The band "Four Winds" performs at the Art Caffé at Westgate Mall in Nairobi, January 16, 2013. Zimbo Jam was in the Kenyan capital for the week and came across a number of interesting arts initiatives. One was the "Kenya Arts Diary", a diary focussing on the arts, featuring different artists and projects which we thought was a great way of shining the spotlight on certain outstanding artists for a whole year.
