2007 Kisima Music Awards
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2007 Kisima Music Awards recognised and rewarded music talent in East Africa. The Kenyan based Kisima Music Awards were held on 8 September 2007 at Marula Manor in Karen, Kenya.[1]
The award ceremony was marked with some drama. It started three hours late, at 10:00pm.[2] Some attendees did not realize it was a black-tie event this year and attended in jeans and T-shirts.[1] In one instance of the crowd's disagreement, Afro-fusion musician Eric Wainaina said he was "shocked" to win in the best video category.[3] The video for his Twende Twende album was not yet officially released.[3] He opted to give the award to Nyota Ndogo amid boos from the crowd.[3] The Kisima nomination process has artists or production houses submit entries which are then placed into categories by the screening panel.[4]
