Maseno University goes Campus wild!

By Njambi Mungai (@njambie)

There is massive turnout and then there is Maseno University turnout! This edition of Standard Digital Campus Tour was held at the Maseno University, the only university on the equator, a fact seems to be a great source of pride for the students along the Kisumu-Busia road.

While we were hoping for a good turnout, nothing could have prepared us for the turnout which edged close to 7000 students. Geared and ready for a night of gospel partying, the Mase students streamed into the field that was already pulsating to the crazy well balanced sound from the speakers.

The Campus Tour brought to you by Standard Digital and System Unit was happening on Friday at absolutely no cost.

Night kicked off with MC Angel getting the crowd all worked up and ready to dance. Performances from Saint Stevoh, Benachi, Innocent Persons, Canflexx and Simbo Owade. The general himself Hopekid took to the stage with his National Anthem intro and boy did he get the people turned up.

All this time, the crowd asked where the queen on gospel herself, Size 8, was coming to perform. And so she did, raining down fire with her trademark mateke. Two ambitious students tried to perform the mateke moves but turns out that it’s not as easy as Size 8 makes it look.

Gospel veteran, Rufftone, took to the stage and blessed the crowd with his golden oldies before hitting them up with his newest hits.

As with every Campus Tour, we have a surprise artist for the fans. This time, it was Willy Paul and that man shut down the place!

Willy put up a show that left the fans screaming. The ladies probably for his toned muscles (he had a vest on..God bless his heart), and the men probably at the kick ass shoes that Willy was rocking. Either way, they could all agree that his music and performance was out of this world. The artist did back flips, stage flips, audience flips and contorted his body in ways that somehow ended up looking like a dance, a very good dance.

On the deck, we had DJ Tabz, whose beauty could only be superseded by her skills on the decks! The law student, 3rd year by the way, kept the crowd on their feet and Twitter on fire. Every dude was smitten by this lasses’ talent and beauty.

Groove Award winning DJ Mo proved why he keeps winning. His mastery of the decks kept the MASE students dancing and sweating for hours. Combined with hypemaster, MC Njugush, nothing was going to dampen this party.

Special thanks to the head of entertainment, Mwangi and the people of Jumbosounds for making this possible.

It was amazing, it was surreal and we sure do hope to go back there sometime soon.

Erokamano Maseno University!

The next edition will be Egerton University on the 27th June. See you there
