Video: Just A Band, Modeselektor & Maasai Mbili 'Kichwateli'


Another clip from Nairobi-meets-Berlin collaborative project BLNRB. For 'Kichwateli,' Just A Band is joined by Kenyan art group Maasai Mbili and Thom Yorke-approved German producer Modeselektor for an "Afro-Scifi music-mentary" that follows a Nairobi child's transformation into a near-Orwellian half-human, half-television entity. The video was written and directed by Bobb Muchiri as part of Studio Ang's contribution to BLNRB.
