Konshens Seeks Kenyan Singers for Upcoming Concert and Music Collaboration ¶
On August 1, 2019, Jamaican dancehall star Konshens expressed interest in working with Kenyan artists, specifically music group Ethic Entertainment, on a remix of their song “Figa.”
Now, Konshens is looking for two Kenyan vocalists to join him as backup singers during his upcoming concert in Nairobi on September 7. He also plans to collaborate with the selected singers to produce and release a song for them.
“Singers in KENYA?? Like real vocalists? Think im gonna do a singers competition where 2 winners get to be my backing vocalists on my show the 7th and maybe get to perform solo too?? And maybe have me produce and release a song for them too,” tweeted Konshens.
Many Kenyans on Twitter encouraged Konshens to go ahead with his plan, recommending talented singers they know. Some even suggested starting a twerking competition instead.
