Formula X – What Price For A Cure?
It seems that the race is now on to produce movies in several African countries. Formula X is a movie, produced in Kenya, that explores the intricate web of deceit centered around the discovery of a vaccine that could cure AIDS. The main character, Frank (Peter King of the Constant Gardener), a brilliant scientist, takes his secretary, Lisa (Nice Githinji from Benta), home for an afternoon of lustful fulfillment. Unbeknownst to both of them of them, a criminal, Juma (Melvin Alusa), is in the house trying to locate information about a vaccine Frank has discovered known as Formula X.
Nonini – Arguably ” The King Of Genge Music”
This is one man who needs no introduction in the Kenyan music industry. Nonini is dubbed “The African King of Genge music” ( ‘Genge’ a Swahili word meaning ‘masses’). First I must admit that because of my below average Swahili , it took me some time to fully tap into his music and allow my musical self to indulge in a Nonini musical experience but as soon as I successfully got through the first track from his latest album “Hanyaring Game“, I was hooked. “Hanyaring Game” is a a love experience from the first meeting of his Nairobi girl, through the courting stages, to him realizing that she might just be the potential life partner. But before taking the ultimate step they endure hardships that unexpectedly reveal an interesting ending to their union.
It is always exciting to witness a hardcore artist like Nonini letting loose and letting society know that even guys like him go through love and that its okay to get “whipped” at times. The rest of the songs in his 14-track album are dedicated to paying tribute to those who have passed, including his brother, and musical legends who have passed on. The last track on the album is a celebration of his journey in the industry from his starting point to his achievements. » Read more…
