Niko na Safaricom Live All Stars Edition -

Top on my list of spectacular music events this year has been the Niko na Safaricom Live concerts that have been touring the country.

For the #KenyaAt50 celebrations, Kijiji Entertainment were called upon by Safaricom to put together an all-stars edition at the Safaricom Stadium Kasarani on 13th December. Kijiji then called upon me to tell the world how the show was so here goes…

Before the show started, backstage was busy with the makeup and wardrobe department making sure all was set.

Onstage, the technical team made sure all cables were properly connected and the stage was set for the artists.

Then the artists started arriving, starting with Ken Wa Maria.

Them Mushrooms.

In the meantime, the excitement and busyness backstage continued.

When the show kicked off, MC Pengele psyched up the crowd.

This couple came with their 6-month-old baby.

The rain started pouring when Ken wa Maria was on stage. The show didn’t stop but went on.

Mike Rua.

Yes. It was a heavy downpour.

Backstage, several nights of rehearsals and little sleep started taking their toll on the entertainers.

It’s nice having Mercy Myra back in the country. She is excited too!

In the stadium, the fans continued the celebrations.

The level of discipline shown by the artists is to be admired. They were backstage several hours before their performances. Here, Esther Wahome patiently waits for her turn to get on stage.
