The South African house music trio seem to be basking in the ambience of a home away from home as they continu their Kenta tour.

The trio comprising of  J'Something (Joao da Fonseca), Dr Duda (Sipho Mphahlaza) and Mo-T (Moshe Kgasoane) say they feel a special connection with Nairobi, which they call a home away from home.

"Everyone is friendly here," says DJ and keyboardist Dr Duda, who is also the group's producer.

"You don't get singled out as a foreigner. The food tastes nice and natural. I wouldn't mind staying or owning a piece of property in Kenya."

He also checks the pre-sets before they perform anywhere

"Kenya is our favourite African country, and one of our favourite cities in the world to play in," adds J'Something, the trio's singer/songwriter.

"Every show we've had here has been amazing. It's because of the fact that we feel at home, the people are friendly, the women are beautiful, there's good food and everything feels just clean and natural. There's something about this place that speaks positivity and love."

Speaking about their tour, J'Something says, "The brand has definitely been growing really fast and really well. The tour took us through 12 cities in Europe (the United Kingdom, Holland, Italy and Portugal) and Canada.

We had 11 sold out-shows with an average of 1,100 people. We did some big shows -- a show in a stadium in Italy with a crowd of 6,000. We also did some small shows - 300 people at a show in Portugal.

It was a lot of fun representing South Africa as well as the continent out there."

But Dr Duda doesn't think there's much of a difference performing outside Africa, if crowd reactions are anything to go by.

"I think it's the same performing in Nairobi, New York or London; music speaks the same language. It was a nice experience to go to those countries and play your own music, and people are 'vibey' (jumping all over the place and happy).

I was expecting people would just look at us, not dance, because it was the first time they were hearing our music," he adds.

The group also performed at Nelson Mandela Memorial Day Concert in London, and they speak with pride at the honour of being associated with their late compatriot, who is considered an African statesman and icon.

J'Something speaks in admiration, saying, "He will always be the father of our nation. Everywhere we go around the world, there's a bridge, a road, a stadium or a foundation named after Nelson Mandela, so it's something that we carry with a lot of pride.

Performing there was an opportunity to do what we love with a little extra incentive because we were doing it for him in a way," J'Something explains.

Dr Duda, who, coincidentally, shares a birthday with the Mandela, jokes that he wants to change his birth date.
