NAIROBI - Juliani's (Julius Owino) much anticipated debut album launch finally took place on Saturday 18th April 2009. Mavuno Dome in South B was the venue for the launch of the album titled Mtaa Mentality. Power Radio's breakfast presenter Gowi Odera was the MC and DJ Johni Celeb was the man on the decks. The whole Kijiji Records crew was on hand to support their former artist who signed on to UK based Gatwick Records a few months ago. Newly rebranded Chit Chat group (formerly Hip Hope) provided back up for Juliani.
Aaron Rimbui leads Chit Chat and the Band
When the man of the moment stepped on stage, the crowd went wild. Dressed in a grafitti laden t-shirt, Julianigrabbed the mic and performed Ka Si Sisi off his album backed by a live band led by Aaron ‘Krucio’ Rimbui. He then performed ‘Mtaa Mentality’, ‘Biceps’ and ‘Hela’ as the crowd sang word for word. Wiggling his long dreaklocks, his energentic performance electrified the crowd as he delivered with his trademark lyrical prowess.
At some point Juliani called his whole family on stage and introduced them to the crowd. Later, a surprise birthday cake was offered to him as Eric Wainaina led people in singing the popular birthday song. Ukoo Flani’s Wenyeji also did a collabo with Juliani called ‘Something More’. Juliani ended the show with a collabo with Eric Wainaina titled ‘Who Is To Blame?'. Check out Juliani's new music video called Hela featuring 91.1 Power Radio presenters Gowi and Njugush among others.
