The annual celebration of the Kenyan culture staple -the kikoy- is finally here! Brought to you by Kenya's premier house entertainment unit 6AM DJs, the annual dance festival is billed to be THE event to be at this weekend. It will be taking place this weekend, Saturday, August 25th, from 2100hrs to 0600hrs, at the Nairobi Ngong Racecourse.
