Valentines weekend was a buzz to roll with as all roads led to Hells Gate in Naivasha county for the 29 th Koroga Festival-Love Edition. Friday and Saturday were the two days chosen to celebrate love in a massive way. Since it is a family event, the Koroga team in partnership with the Naivasha Love Festival Team had lots of food,drinks,photobooth and huge sponsors like Tusker Malt,Jameson,Beefeater and Ballantine’s full of activities to keep people on their feet (including merchandise on sale from various vendors). The Djs,Mcs, and Hype man Gudah Man, DJ Adrian and Protégé,Miano Muchiri and his partner all did a great job at keeping the crowd’s energy levels very high as they played all kinds of infectious music mixes to warm them up for all performances.
Mike Rua opened the showfusing hiphop with Kikuyu music on his guitar accompanied by two other rappers which the Nakuru people really enjoyed.Chris Kaiga also did a surprise performance with his partner and it was good.Then Hart The Band gave the most outstanding performance ever seen on Kenyan soil,givinga hearty very emotional show that got the crowd chanting,singing,crying and dancing to all their songs which they had different rendtiions to played by the band fused with spoken word lyrics and even included a female singer and a saxophonist to make it more sentimental.I loved every bit of it for they put all their hearts,minds and souls into this performance.
After about an hour of dj mixes and waiting for the last act,Diamond Platnumz showed up and gave an electrifying stellar perfromance to his fans who kept crying,singing,dancing and chanting his name “Simba� for more infectious hits from him.he came with his live band,dancers and his official dj-Rommy Jonz who all did very well to backup him up as he gave a very emotional show that left tails and tongoues wagging as the crowd were mesmerized by his prowess and charismatic dance moves telling stories of love through his music.He also jumped offstage to thank and greet his fans.It was beautiful.
All in all,Naivasha had the perfect ambience,energy,wildlife sights,perfect weather and great resorts like Sawela Lodge and Enishpai Resort to host the guests in the land of love and lots of flower
farms.Valentines was perfect and Koroga Festival just sealed their place as one of the most anticipated prestigious events of 2020 with live performances from Khaligraph Jones,Ochunglo Family and Nadia Mukami who were all spectacular.We look forward to more festivals of this nature.
