Why are African intellectuals so depressing?, wonders Kenyan blogger Kaasa: “Hello! Today on my way back to the hotel, I saw the current Oct-Dec 2009 BBC Focus on Africa magazine at a newsstand and read Mukoma wa Ngugi’s article “We Are Sailing”. My goodness. Talk about a super depressingly-depressing article.

Correction… you seem to communicate that they are singing at the actual inauguration itself. Kenyanpoet does not say this. It is much more likely that they are performing somewhere in DC that day or day before/after the actual event itself, and not in the same location, but some other venue. I myself and siblings of mine have done performances at Bush’s and Clinton’s inauguration, it does not mean you are doing it at the actual inauguration itself. Just doing something, somewhere, sometime close to that space and around that time.
KENYANS ARE A MULTI-TALENTED PEOPLE..IM A KENYAN LIVING IN AUS AND I WISH THEM ALL TEH BEST!!!
