In this episode the duo host the powerhouse that is Mufasa; a Kenyan performing artist and author. Exploring deep and close to heart experiences that formed and deformed him in various ways, to lighter stories with laughs and that possibly feature letters, loaves and lessons, their convo moves from pulpits to the making of a rockstar! They talk matters family, fears and chance karaokes that influenced the making of Mufasa. Sharing stories from his childhood, teenagehood, school and home experiences from Eldoret and Kapsabet, he goes on to tell of 'Nairobi Half Life' like experiences on moving to the city he'd known to produce the E-sirs and Nikkis of legend. Tales of cunning Kingfisher lovers (yes, the drink), K-Zone (yes, a boy 'band') are featured in this engaging listen, as Mufasa throws it back to his theatre come up days and all the way forward to Concerts and Slamming. He not only shares his evolution but also his writing and creation process and his desires and efforts towards more than green spaces, grooming talents and grander artistry. This king crowns it all exclusively performing a piece that reminds us all why he is a magician with a pen!
