There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, yet another weekend, yet another opportunity to come out and have some fun. Will still be signing albums so bring yours along!

A big thank you to everyone who made the official launch of Love+Protest the phenomenal success it was!  A special shout out to Aly Khan Satchu and Safaricom Ltd who provided Sheba and I with the unique platform to not only launch the album, but also speak on the music business in Kenya. I’d also like to thank  Nakumatt who will continue to have dedicated Love+Protest stands. The album is now available at all Nakumatt stores in Nairobi, and soon to be available at all outlets in the region! To all who came out for the performances at MindSpeak Conference, Nakumatt Embakasi, Nakumatt Mega, Nakumatt Junction and Nakumatt Westgate, I thank you!

A big thank you also goes out to KWELI Magazine for live streaming the Nakumatt Westgate performance and capturing some special moments on video, and to David Kiania and Paul Munene(Quaint Photography) for some amazing photos!

The plan is to sell one million copies of Love+Protest, and with your help that’s gonna happen! Physical copies of the album will continue to retail at only Kshs 399, because we want you, your relatives, friends and friends of friends to own the record! So go out and get yourself a copy! The album remains available on PewaHewa, iTunes and Amazon MP3 for digital purchase.

It’s been a labour of love boys and girls. In production since 2008, ladies and gentlemen- Love and Protest! (insert applause here)

Follow our updates, good moments, frustrations and road rage on Twitter: #LoveAndProgress

Ahead of the physical copies of the album, we thought we’d try for an exclusive digital release (in the spirit of embracing technology.) L+P (as we fondly refer to the album) is available for local digital purchase on PewaHewa.

I am particularly excited about this novelty, because you can purchase tracks off the album via MPESA, Airtel Money, YuCash, VISA Card and VISA Electron Card, for just Kshs 30. Yup!

L+P will be available for purchase on iTunes, Amazon MP3, Nokia and Spotify in days to come.(#LoveAndProgress I tell you!)

Come December 3rd and 4th,2011, physical copies of Love and Protest will be available for purchase at Nakumatt Stores countrywide(Kenya), coupled with performances at select stores, with the Best Band In Africa.

Super excited about this, hope you are too!!
