After a renowned Nollywood actor Noah Ramsey and Rita Dominic visited Kenya during the Naija night a few months ago, it seems Kenya will be once again hosting another Nigerian actress this time by the name Patience Ozokwor, popularly known as Mama G.
The actress will be gracing the Tafrija Festival scheduled for 11 December at the Nigerian diplomatic compound.
Ozokwor who is frequently typecast in the role of a wicked and bad tempered woman in most of the movies apparently is a soft spoken person.
Her consistency as an actress has led to her being crowned the face of Nollywood and also awarded the Afro Hollywood best actress award.
Tafrija Festival was originally known as “Shangilia Kikwetu Festival. The whole Tafrija concept is based on marketing musicians to the international community.
In the spirit of the festive season some of the proceeds from the festival will be donated to three children’s homes in Thika, Kibera and Kangemi.
“On top of the list of artistes who will be performing at the festival there will be two top Nigerian stars gracing the occasion.
This is to help enhance the bond that continues to form between Kenya and Nigeria.
We would like the event to have both a Nigerian and Kenyan feel to it,” said Dr. Chijioke Wigwe, the High Commissioner of Nigeria to Kenya and Seychelles.
According to sources, this year’s musical festival will be different from the previous years.
This is so because, the artistes have been directly involved in the planning and organizing of the event since its preparation begun.
Not failing to mention that for the first time, a professional producer will run the show.
At least 40 top Kenyan artistes have so far been invited and are expected to perform at the event.
Among the artistes those who have already confirmed their presence for the Tafrija festival include, Makali Sound Band, Makadem, Jaguar, Jimmy Gait, Big Pin, Marya, Juma Tutu Band, Live Wire Band, Madtraxx, Valarie Kimani, among many others.
