On November 30, 2019, Nigerian afro pop artiste JoeBoy arrived in the country ahead of his performance at the maiden Nairobi Festivals (Nai Fest) at the Ngong Racecourse.
Nai Fest, organized by popular Nairobi socialite Bridget Achieng, is a celebration of Kenyan music, fashion, and street foods. JoeBoy, known for his hit song 'Baby,' was invited to spice up the inaugural event with a taste of afro bits.
According to Bridget Achieng, JoeBoy is not the main act, but rather a guest artiste to enhance the experience. The event aims to bring together Kenya's finest acts to celebrate the urban Kenyan culture, music, and street foods.
"We are thrilled to be bringing together Kenya's finest acts on one stage for an event of such magnitude just to celebrate the Nairobi Music Culture. JoeBoy is also here to flavor the experience," Bridget Achieng said.
JoeBoy will share the stage with local artistes, including sensational female rapper Fena Gitu, Ochungulo Family, Ethic, Boondocks, Sailors, Wakaliwao, Fatboygwash, Wakadinali, Noti Flow, and Mustapha. Other local artistes making up the lineup include Zzero Sufuri, Wakadinali, and Nadia Mukami.
On the ones and twos will be DJ Kace and VDJ Jones. Fashion and Kenyan street foods will also rule the festival.
