A highly anticipated concert in Nairobi by celebrated South African duo MFR Souls originally set for March 13 has been postponed after one of the artistes tested positive for COVID-19.
The electronic- dance group is made up of disc jockey and producers Tumelo Maero Nedondwe and Tumelo Force Mabe.
“Ladies and Gents, it is with deep sadness that we are forced to announce MFR Souls are unable to fly to Kenya for our show this weekend. One of the duo has returned a positive covid result when doing the pre-flight covid test. Currently the other member is negative, however since they perform together and have been in close proximity with each other, we cannot in good conscience proceed with just one of the two,” wrote one of the event organizers, 6AM entertainment, on their FaceBook page.

Summary
After a decade in which he has risen from a young, angry rapper confronting the status quo, Henry Ohanga, famously known as Octopizzo, has in recent years made a shift in his music embracing cultural influences from across Kenya to give the music a stronger identity.
This transformation has peaked with the release of his fifth album “Jungle Fever” which combines hip hop with rumba and benga, electronic sounds with African percussions.
