Kenyan Skies

-
Many of my readers will know of my love for Kenya. I thought it appropriate for Skywatch Friday to feature the Kenyan skies. I have some of my own photos here of Kenya but I also wanted to introduce you to a wonderful new gospel singer in Kenya by the name of Alice Kamande.  Ms. Kamande has a beautiful voice and here is her video where she sings "Wewe Pekee".

Clouds over Nakuru National Park
Skies over Lake Elementeita
Skies over the village

Now here is the video featuring the beautiful, Alice Kamande. If you look you will see the beautiful Kenya skyline.



ENJOY!

That gorgeous sky over Kenya made my day. I've watched AfriCam in the past and marveled at Kenya and its animal sightings. Lovely, inspiring blog you have!

Kenya looks very rich in natural resources. Why there are so many poor people there? Correct me if I am wrong when I say poor, thanks!

I agree that Ms. Kamande has a very nice voice. They= video was put together very well (splicing in all those changes of clothing) and fun to watch.

Beautiful skies! And I love the main picture of your blog, what an amazing flower. I would love to see it growing, and I wonder how large it grows.

Well I lost my whole comment! My computer became delayed..each letter was backed up then I went to delete a sentence and poof. Hmm..
Well, she is gorgeous and what a fabulous voice!! She even looked good in each change of clothes (ha ha). Would be nice to see the lyrics too. What a setting..looked like fields of wheat or something! Didn't you think her head bands were pretty..not sure what they'd call it, but over here they make flower leis called hah-koo) last part sound like you'd say a dove cooing. The country side is beautiful..wishing you a wonderful weekend and a happy skywatch:)

So many weird things go on with blogger. I'm sorry that you lost your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I have a few Swahili readers. Maybe they could translate for you, ha!

Kenya is indeed very rich in natural resources. I can't even begin to comment on your question except to say that there are many rich people there in Kenya and also many poor people. If you would like more information you can probably find a lot more on line.

Thank you for your visit and your kind words about my photos. I think you are probably already familiar with the singer ;-)

Under a Cloudy Sky

After some glorious sunny days, it started to rain again as is the norm in our Winter on the West Coast of Canada.  It rained quite heavily on Monday.  These photos were snapped earlier this week during a break from the rain. It was nice to see the bird's nest among the bare tree branches and the bird flying against a patch of blue sky. Joining in with Skywatch Friday and Saturday's Critters this week. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Ni Wewe Bwana (It is You Lord)

This is a lovely gospel song sung in Swahili and has special meaning for me. It is special because on my first trip to Kenya a group of orphans encircled me and sang this lovely song. It really touched me. No one translated the song for me at that time.  Though I could not speak Swahili I knew it was a worship song unto God. I tried to track the song down for a long time.  Every time I would ask a Kenyan friend, no one would know which song I was trying to recollect. I only knew the words "Ni wewe bwana" and decided to search on YouTube when I couldn't get any of my friends to help me find the song.  Guess what,  I found it! (Update: It has already been some years since I found it and had a Tanzanian friend translate it for  me.) The version I'm sharing is the same song but this one on the video is sung to a slightly faster beat.  It is sung by well known (now deceased) Tanzanian Gospel singer, Fanuel Sedekia. This song gives me joy and lifts me u
