Ahead of the launch, Redsan says, “I am bringing my long term friend Demarco who I have also collaborated with in the album as the event’s main feature. I have also worked with Khaligraph before and we happen to share a similar vision.
His dream to take Kenyan music to the world is the same as mine from 24 years ago when I started my career,” adding on reigning Nigerian Pop Queen: “Tiwa Savage was an easy choice for me because she is one of the ladies I really admire in the Afro Beats scene and plans to work with her are already underway.”
Redsan is among the pioneering Kenyan music acts whose music has dominated the industry for more than two decades commanding massive crowds and connecting with diverse audiences. At the launch event, he will be performing some of his greatest hits of all time as well as new tracks from the new album.
