With hits like “Vula Mlomo” and “Samarian Boy,” Musa Keys has rocked the South African music scene with her contagious sounds and wild energy.
The 32-year-old expressed his excitement for the event by saying, “It is a privilege to be performing at Nairobi’s RAHA Fest 2024. I’m eager to see Raha the Nairobi way because I’ve heard so much about the passion of Kenyan audiences. The show is going to be truly remarkable.”
