It was an awesome phenomenon. Escape: The Musical is a fabulous expression of soulful Kenyan genius. And I don’t use that word lightly or hyperbolically since I recently had the privilege of watching several scenes from the musical at Alliance Francaise.
I saw a stage filled with individuals who had not only mastered their musical instrument, be it a traditional Kalimba, acoustic guitar, lyrical voice, or electronic keyboard that could create practically any sort of sound, beat or rhythm of your choice.
