Tanzanian Bongo Flava musician Mbosso is set to perform in Nairobi on Sunday, November 8, as part of the inaugural Warm Up Series concert at Al Capone Lounge along Thika Road.
The singer, whose real name is Mbwana Yusuph Kilungi, will headline the event alongside Kenyan musicians Bensoul, Iyanii, Njerae, Watendawili and Dyana Cods.
The concert, organised by DonPesa Events, is expected to bring together fans of Bongo Flava, Afro-pop and other contemporary East African music styles.
Mbosso arrived in Kenya ahead of the performance, with his visit attracting excitement among fans who have been anticipating his return to the country.
The musician rose to prominence as a member of the Tanzanian group Yamoto Band before launching his solo career under Diamond Platnumz’s WCB Wasafi record label in 2018.
He has since established himself as one of the region’s recognised Bongo Flava performers, releasing popular songs including ‘Hodari’, ‘Nadekezwa’, ‘Watakubali’ and ‘Pawa’.
The Nairobi show will also bring together several Kenyan acts, giving local musicians an opportunity to share the stage with one of Tanzania’s established music stars.
The event is scheduled to take place at Al Capone Lounge opposite Garden City Mall, with doors expected to open at 6pm.
