Belt up for what is set to be an electrifying fusion of film and music at the Kienyeji movie premiere. This highly-anticipated event promises to be a cultural extravaganza, seamlessly blending the worlds of Ohangla and Mugithi through the art of cinema.
The often-thorny issue of marriage between members of different communities has been around for a while, Kienyeji tackles it through a thought-provoking film that delves into the complexities of intermarriage in Kenya, exploring the roadblocks and challenges that often arise in such relationships. Yet while tackling this difficult topic, they have made lemonade out of lemons by serving it with a heaping dose of entertainment and celebration.
Starring in the film are the award-winning heavyweights Nyokabi Macharia and Xavier Ywaya. Macharia, winner of both Best Actress Kalasha Awards and Breakthrough Kenya Theatre Awards in 2022, is a force to be reckoned with on stage and screen. Ywaya, the co-star, is a seasoned veteran whose electric performances have graced numerous productions, from Lwanda Rockman on stage to Kina on Maisha Magic, leaving audiences in awe.
There’s more star power in this ensemble, including Amina Hussein, the prolific actress behind hits like Becky and Click Click Bang, who brings her undeniable charisma to the role of Aisha. There is also Faith Kibathi, whose hilarious turn in the hit series Single Kiasi has proven her comedic chops time and time again.
As if that were not enough, the filmmakers have pulled out all the stops by inviting none other than the Ohangla king himself, Prince Indah, and the Mugithi master, Samidoh, to grace the silver screen with their presence. These musical royalty are not just making cameos – their tunes are interwoven into the film’s fabric, adding an authentic cultural flavor that will surely have you tapping your feet.
The premiere itself promises to be a grand affair. Forget stuffy movie theatres and overpriced popcorn—this is a full-blown picnic party under the stars at KICC Comesa Grounds, a first.
Attendees can expect a vibrant atmosphere celebrating Kenyan culture and the love for our nation. Take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity to witness the fusion of Ohangla and Mugithi on the big screen and revel in the rich tapestry of Kenyan culture.
