One Of The Best Bands In Kenya Grace The Choices Stage Tonight!

Isn’t it amazing when you read a band’s bio, and realize that in their own way they have brand ambassadors for the country?

Meet Richard ‘Reechie’,Wandati (drummer), Tito Monako (Bassist), Ben ‘Gittx’ Gitau (Keys), and Benjamin kabaseke (Guitarist). These are the guys that make up Threat Band. Their musical resume is baffling as it it enthralling, they have played with the who’s who globally! They have played with Javen (U.S.A), Vivien Green, Benjamin Aggerbaek, Pallek Klok, Louise Hoegh from Copenhagen Denmark, Olivia Mutukudzi from Zimbabwe. The have shared the stage with: Jonathan Butler, Israel Houghton, Kirk Franklin, Cece Winans, Deitrick Haddon and Damita Haddon. ESH! I can’t believe these are guys I have seen playing at Drum Jam, I should know people!

In Kenya, they have played or shared a stage with top notch performers as well. Key among them bieng Juliani, Neema Ntalel and Kanjii Mbugua, Suzanna Owiyo, Aaron Rimbui, Kaima Mwiti, Redsan,Camp Mulla, Jimmy Gait, Jaguar, Wahu, Habida, Jua Kali among others. Among others.

Some of their past performances include:
• Safaricom Kenya Live tour
• Israel Houghton Kenya Concert
• Kirk Franklin Kenya concert
• COP 17 Climate change tour (visiting over five
countries in Africa)
• Mathewmattix House of Jazz

The band has been in existence for five years, and I for one I’m glad the musical rapport is still there, the bonds stronger than Samson.They are known for music versatility and chemistry, which gave birth to their name threat band kenya.  Watch them this evening at Choices Baricho Road courtesy of Roots International. Watch one of their performances below.
