The East African Meat Carnival, a popular meaty food event returned for its first 2020 edition over the weekend at The Gardens in Najjera.

Powered by Tusker Lite, revelers preferred to dance all night to the Utake music mixes that only DJ maestros Benon and Cisse could perfectly handle as they mixed and played East African throwbacks throughout the night keeping the revelers on their feet for most of the night while others were seen basking to the old school East African throwbacks and reminiscing about the good ol’ days.

For those who’s agenda was the famous meat fiesta, foodies were treated to the deliciously cooked ‘Mutura’s, stir fried pork, roast chicken with the popular Kenyan sausage delicacy Mutura proving to be a house favourite for many who attended Saturday’s meat feast.

As always, it was a pallete-thrilling sight with enough enticing meaty treats to leave ones mouth dripping and salivating as foodies, friends and family came out in large numbers proving that ‘Januworry’ is no worry for them.

Senior Chef, Mark Kaheru did not disappoint his guests as he paid attention to the nitty gritty details while preparing the different mouthwatering meaty recipes that are worthy of being served at five-star hotels with many looking forward to the next meat-up come February.

Nigerian star, Burna Boy will have to wait a bit longer before he can add a Grammy Award to his trophy collection. The singer who was a fan favorite for the World Music award at this year’s Grammy Awards lost to fellow African singer Angelique Kidjo.

Burna Boy had been nominated for his fourth studio album African Giant, which was released in July 2019 to critical acclaim with the album being described as his “crossover moment”. The album is a mixture of Afro-fusion, Afrobeat, dancehall, pop and hip hop.

Accepting the award, Angelique Kidjo was all praise for Burna Boy saying he is changing how African music is perceived globally, before dedicating the award to him.

“Four years ago, on this stage, I was telling you that a new generation of artistes from Africa is going to take you by storm,” Kidjo said while accepting the award. “And the time has come. This is for Burna Boy!”

“Burna Boy is among the young artistes coming from Africa that is changing the way our continent is perceived and the way how Africa has been the bedrock of every music.” She added.

Others competing in the category included Turkish band Altin Gün, Haitian artiste Nathalie Joachim, and Metropole Orkest, a Dutch Orchestra group.
