Calif Record’s Ala-C Almost Arrested in Kitale

If you thought your weekend was long, then just ask Calif Record’s Ala C Genge what he went through over this past weekend at what was meant to be an autograph session with his fans in Kitale.

Ala C and Jimwat, together with their manager Tom, were at Kiririni Girls School Multipurpose Hall, which is a shared premises with the local church there, in a talent search which is part of their countrywide tour looking for the undiscovered musical talent Kenya has to offer.

Both the seasoned Kenyan genge artistes were dishing out fliers, posters and giving their autographs to the large crowd that was predominantly made up of the students of the girl’s school. Ala-C granted some photo opportunities to the girls who were more than excited to be with the star and descended on him with kisses and hugs.

All the commotion eventually attracted the attention of local police officers who thought the artiste was the inciter of what seemed to be a riot. Ala-C was then bundled into a police vehicle, but Jimwat intervened going ahead to call the school’s headmistress who came to explain the situation.
