Choma na Ngoma Music Concert: Nairobi, 31st May

 

Yemi Alade

Radio Maisha burst onto the scene with a new mix of music, referred to as contemporary African and bagged the 2018 KUZA award for the most popular radio station in Kenya.

This beautifully woven mix of hits from mainly West, South and East Africa spiced with witty talk and a good serving of current affairs has propelled the station to a position where it is interchangeably taking market leadership with Radio Citizen.

The success has spawned a national following and a respectable appreciation of African music. It is on the back of this that Choma Na Ngoma has been born. An event to celebrate African music and cuisine. Revelers should expect lots of nyama choma, kuku choma, samaki choma, mitura and all manner of other finger licking grills.

Keeping with the tradition of charity beginning at home, the organizers of the event have lined up a list of top local talents led by the pre-eminent boy band Sauti Sol, Willy Paul, Tha Kansoul, Fena Gitu, King Kaka and Khaligraph Jones to headline the inaugural concert, styled as an annual festival.

To top it all, the night of Madaraka day eve will be crowned by the sassy, energetic Nigerian queen Yemi Alade.
