Sponsored (only for adults): Escorts in Las Vegas, USA Posted on April 23, 2008, at 6:13 am Air Guitar goes KenyaFrom the home office in Finland this came across our desks: The message of air guitar has now reached the African continent, when Kenya joins in the Air Guitar World Championships and the AGWC Network. The official number of air guitar countries grows thus to nineteen. The first official Kenyan Air Guitar Championships will be celebrated later in the summer.
The rock folk of Nairobi is eagerly waiting for the first airy chords – the rock music is flowing over the country and the cities are currently reigned by a strong underground scene. Gradually recovering from the recent violent conflict, Kenya’s organizers believe in the peace promoting power of air guitar. “Many local initiatives have been launched to emphasize peace in the country, and it is this that got us thinking about what we could do as a company to help spread the word of peace. That is when I hit on the idea to organize a fun event that would help people laugh, chill out and release tension. So I thought, why not air guitar?” tells the Kenya’s air guitar organizer Patrick Kariuki of PR Masters LTD. Kenya’s first official air guitar champion will travel to Finland to take the stage with other national AGWC champions in the 13th world final on 22 August 2008 in Oulu.
