Kenya's biggest names in music are set to come together on one stage in the biggest online concert yet, Trace fest. The event, hosted by Multichoice Kenya and Trace TV, will feature 10 of the country's top artistes.
The concert, which will take place on Friday, July 17, will be beamed live by Trace and will be available to watch on Trace's YouTube and Facebook pages, as well as live on Trace Mziki on DStv (323) and GOtv (74).
According to Multichoice Kenya managing director Nancy Matimu, the company's partnership with Trace was a great opportunity to serve fresh content that resonates with customers despite the existent challenges.
“In these uncertain times, the role of entertainment in enriching lives is more significant than ever. People are looking for ways to connect with their passions and this can now best be done by plugging into our strong online networks,” said Matimu.
Trace fest is hosted in collaboration with Safaricom, DStv Now, and Showmax. The event follows a six-week special online concert that Multichoice and Trace partnered in May to celebrate top Kenyan acts.
The concert will feature performances by Octopizzo, Khaligraph Jones, King Kaka, Fena Gitu, Jua Cali, Femi One, The Kansoul, Kagwe Munga, Sailors, and Ochungulo Family.
