WHAT IS THE REASON BEHIND KENYA’S FAILURE TO HOST CELEBRATED INTERNAIONAL ARTISTES?
What do country’s like Uganda and South Africa do in order to bring celebrated international artiste to their countries?
Kenya call’s it self an entertainment power house in East Africa but its only on papers , practically we are not as our neighbors, Uganda and Tanzania have been hosting international renowned artistes like Jay z, R Kelly, Akon and Mos Def among others.
We have been hearing complains that our local event promoters and organizers do not pay the musicians and concerts are cancelled without prior notice to the concerned people giving this business venture a bad reputation.
Nowadays we are forced to bring Jamaican artiste as their fee is not that high compared to the Americans but also our event organizers have failed us because they do not upheld professionalism as they don’t abide by the contract agreement entered between them and artiste’s managers.
I hope our event organizers will borrow a leaf from our neighbors from Museveni land or even the land of Kikwete.
