On Saturday, all roads led the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) for the much anticipated Mt Kenya Festival under the slogan Noo Kugeria.
Partygoers from different parts of the country ditched their blankets to brace the Nairobi cold with the aim of having a good time at the much-hyped festival.
The concert brought together Mugithi heavyweights who thrilled their fans in a fun and intimate night of their well-known and loved hit songs.
Mugithi lovers started to stream to the venue of the event as early as 7:00 p.m. with an opportunity to have a one-on-one connection with their favorite stars who were headliners of the concert.
Mugithi is a form of music originated by the Kikuyu people of Kenya but enjoyed by other ethnic groups within Kenya – a true reflection of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow saying that ‘Music is a universal language’.
The show kicked off with a performance from Steve Rogers the Country Boy. Steve delivered a fire set of county music with a rendition of world most famous reggae and Country songs. He performed songs like Wendo Uyu, The Vows Go Unbroken, Nyita Na Guoko, Your Man, Wi Muthaka among others.
Steve Rogers paved way for Ayrosh – the young man who has given Mugithi a modern touch with his songs.
Ayrosh who is an Afro-fusion singer kept the crowd jamming to his songs, many singing his lyrics word to word. He was the second act on stage and he definitely understood the assignment as revelers could not get enough to his performance. Some of the songs he performed include Nuu, Ya!, Kiroko, Who are you, Fire, Ngutunge, Murasta and his latest single Githambutha.
Ayrosh rocked the crowd away, preparing the stage for gospel star Sammy Irungu who immediately changed the atmosphere at the festival into a worship session.
Sammy kicked off his set with Muthenya Wakwa a song that has over 6.9 million views on YouTube. Other songs were Ndakanjethe, Munyoneri Kuraya, Menyerera Gucenjanirio Irathimo and Mundu Gukena just to mention a few.
Another gospel artiste presenter at the Mt. Kenya Festival was Sammy K, who made sure the elevate the tempo that has been created by his fellow star Sammy Irungu. Sammy K was the fourth act on stage, bringing out his best foot forward with some of his hit songs Utana wa Ngai, Ndigiriganirwo, Nyarara and Gutirai Kwega. Read More…
