It is at Galileo Lounge in Westlands, Nairobi, on a cold Wednesday night and revellers have assembled to quench their thirst and stimulate their moods while singing along to resident country music maestro, Sir Elvis Otieno.

Sir Elvis, Kenya’s king of country music as he is popularly known, plucks the strings with vigour as he steals glances at the pleasure seekers accompanying him in the musical journey to keep the cold away.
