On September 28–29, 2024, at Nairobi’s Uhuru Gardens grounds, the Walker Town Concert featuring American artist Lauryn Hill will take place.
Johnie Walker has revealed that Hill would headline the performance alongside Kenyan rapper Nyashinski, also known as Nyamari Ongegu.
The iconic American rapper, singer, and songwriter Lauryn Hill first gained notoriety in the 1990s as a member of The Fugees, and then she went on to have a highly successful solo career.
Her breakthrough album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, cemented her status as a trailblazing figure in hip-hop and R&B and garnered multiple awards, including five Grammys.
With her powerful voice and socially conscious lyrics, Hill has gained a broad fan base.
The highly anticipated festival, which has established itself as a mainstay in Nairobi’s music calendar, is celebrating its second anniversary this year with these concerts.
Top African and international performers have been frequently included at Walker Town Concert; past headliners have included TxC, Fally Ipupa, and Tiwa Savage.
The event, which draws thousands of music enthusiasts every year, has earned a reputation for its exciting cultural events and explosive performances.
