The B&W festival which took place over the weekend at Uhuru Gardens attracted great numbers, and how could it not with the fantastic mix of artists that were lined up for the day. Needless to say, the artists exceeded expectations with their impressive live performances. What's more, the event space had a nice and chill setup- in line with the theme, the tremendous amount f food trucks that guests could choose from, the silent disco section and of course the marvellous body artwork by Michael Soi. Check out the list of fab and drab moments of the event:

1. The Artists

Kelissa from JamaicaShekinah from South AfricaThe artist did well at expressing the modern African culture, which they perfectly infused with their guitars. It was amazing that they all came from different parts of the world, for instance Kelissa from Jamaica but each artist was able to attract a crowd to the stage and get them to sing along. Shekinah shut it down with her superb vocals as she sang her hit song 'Let You Know' which drove the crowd wild! Maia and the Big Sky also gave a nice lengthy authentic performance.Maia and the Big Sky

2. The Vendors

The silent disco corner hired out their headphones and one could spot the selected few zoning out and having themselves a good time. There was an artist on site who would draw up portraits of interested parties, there were also creative vendors selling African print umbrellas while Peperuka sold their famous branded mugs with 'Kenyan tag lines' like: wacha niende nirudi. Additionally, Michael Soi also did his famous sleeve artwork on a selected few.Branded mug by PeperukaSleeve tattoo by Michael SoiThe food was ample with vendors selling delicious shawarmas, ice cream, burgers, fries and practically any delicious gooey meal you can fathom. It was the weekend after all so the guests indulged the best they could.

3. The Guests

The crowd came dressed to slay! The ladies had trendy African print off-shoulder tops, mini-dresses and booty shorts while the hippies had their trademark kimonos. The guys clad smart casual in their chino pants, plain tees and the extra ones had the controversial male rompers. Everyone was in theme, which was super satisfying!

4. The Music

What I particularly liked about the event is the fact that the afro-fusion music played was not your everyday kind of music. There was tonnes of Kwaito music, house-music with brilliant drops and all around authentic music that kept the crowd entertained until late.

1. The End of the Event

As is the usual with most successful events, the wrapping up of the event usually makes for the saddest part!
