The harsh realities of Kenya's devastated social climate are tempered by the work of Carolina for Kibera, an empowered nonprofit run by Kenyans and Americans who go to great length to improve the quality of life in the region. To help raise funds for the organization, Kenyan-born and San Francisco-based Victor Sila brings his high-octane blend of roots and funk to the stage. Inspired by such greats as James Brown and Fela Kuti, Sila is a powerhouse, singing in both Swahili and English. Radioactive, Afrobeat DJ Jeremiah and hep scratch artist DJ Felina join the singer and his band.
