TRIO MIO, FEMI ONE, MASAUTI AND JOVIAL AMONG OTHERS TO PERFORM AT MADARAKA DAY CELEBRATIONS

The Permanent Presidential Music Commission (PPMC) has announced that the preparations for the Madaraka Day Celebrations are on course. This year’s celebration is unique as it is the last Madaraka Day that H.E Uhuru Kenyatta will commemorate as President and Commander in Chief.

PPMC has put together an amalgamation of choral, popular and upcoming artists as part of the show-stopping entertainment programme. It will feature both young and seasoned musicians and dancers.

Some of the artistes billed to perform in this year’s Madaraka day include  Femi One, Masauti, Jovial, Trio Mio, Iyanii, Mutulani Kasheshe of Kungulu Kwangala Fame and other artistes. Also, on the list are identified youth choristers and contemporary dancers from Nairobi region and its environs who were selected in auditions that were conducted a few months ago.

“Kenyans should expect a great set of performances ranging from traditional dances, choral music to contemporary music. Just like in the 2021 Jamhuri Day celebrations, Madaraka Day 2022 will also feature Kenya’s Gengetone sound.

Participants from the National Youth Talent Development Programme will also get to present productions they created during their various training workshops. PPMC is confident that the artistes and acts curated for Madaraka Day 2022 will represent diversity and inclusivity among various artists and music genres in Kenyan music.” Said PPMC Director Dr. Donald Otoyo
