The singing Bird

If you live in Africa and especially rural Africa or uncrowded area, you can enjoy being woken up to the sound of the singing or humming bird. Their tunes are pleasant if you take time to listen to them. Birds have a rhythmic sound to them, but the sound normally last for a short while before they fly away. This brings to mind about wedding and music. Its nice to be entertained by music in a wedding and especially if its the kind of music that you like and can dance to. Different individuals have different tastes when it comes to music.

There are songs I would not have picked for any wedding but lately with choreographed wedding dances any song serves to entertain guests at weddings. Nairobi has a lot of songs that are not related by any means to weddings but many people have turned them to wedding songs and they are enjoyed and danced to by many especially a majority of them having being sang by local musicians. I have come to respect how well they blend to the weddings.




A hired band especially with a lead singer has a way of being a crowd puller as their music though not familiar to the crowd they have a way around it.There is another aspect though of the singing bird when:
  1. A friend chooses to sing for your wedding or pays someone (can be the couple's favorite singer) to sing at your wedding
  2. bride/groom decides to sing.

Well, the bride/groom singing is where my interest lies because most people who choose to sing at the wedding have a voice for it . But the bride or groom singing, do you have the voice for it? I love birds singing in the morning but the owl outside my window in the night/morning is another thing: terrible. Before you entertain your mate as a surprise its good to have someone realistically listen to you sing. An honest opinion may just be what you need to know whether you can be the singing bird at your wedding or the owl. Either way, its your wedding and keeping your guests entertained and comfortable is a decision only you can decide.
