Hey music junkie,

Is it just me or is August super busy? Like all the events and projects of the year are happening now? Or is it an music and entertainment business problem?

Personally, I've been busy planning a festival happening this end-month. And I'm not talking about those funky music festivals in high school. Good times and great hits, right?

Well, this festival is even better because it's taking us to the coolest county in Kenya. If you know me, you know what that is. Let's say it together, shall we?

KILIFI!

It's not just the charming Kilifi town. It's a 3-day touring festival that will introduce us to Saffron Garden Resort in Malindi and Sudi Island in Watamu. Where we'll enjoy live Bango, Afrofusion and Swahili jazz fresh outta Kilifi county!

Because sherehes on the coast favour the early birds, stay updated on Sailing Music Festival here.

As we countdown only a few weeks to this unique musical extravaganza, here's some fine Kenyan music and events to keep you busy this week 🙂

PLAYLIST OF THE WEEK

Music of the month

Provocative? Sexy? How would you describe this song thumbnail?

How's that for a relaxed weekend after a busy and revolutionary week? Make sure to reflect and set new intentions during the Lions Gate Portal on 08/08. And always remember you are powerful ✊🏾
