For two months, Jamaican star Eric Donaldson will be in Kenya for a tour of all the major towns and cities.
Donaldson who is famed for the hit song Cherry Oh Baby is set to headline the Umoja Splash Peace tour slated for June 5 to July 30, 2022.
The tour will see the Traffic Lights hitmaker do a 2-month countrywide tour of Eldoret, Nakuru, Meru, Mombasa alongside top Kenyan acts and DJs.
The tour kicks off on June 5 in Kisumu followed by Eldoret 8 days later. Then on June 19, he will take over Nakuru and on June 25 he will be performing in Meru.
The following month, Donaldson will headline the final leg of the shows starting with Mombasa on July 4 and culminating the tour on July 30 in Nairobi.
The tour is organized by Umoja Splash Festival and managed by Ngoma Tucheze who are famed for bringing top reggae acts in the country.
Speaking about the event, the organizers said, “The past two elections have stretched our faith as Kenyans, created boundaries, divided us between tribal lines and deterred us from celebrating our unity and diversity.”
He continued, “Through this tour, we intend to preach and promote peace ahead of the elections as well as give Kenyans an unforgettable experience and also instil in them the spirit of oneness and being Kenyan.”
The peace county tour will act as a curtain-raiser ahead of the main peace concert to be held in Nairobi featuring a top international act to be unveiled later.
“Music provides parameters that can be used to frame experiences, perceptions, feelings,and comportments and we hope to achieve our objective of One Kenya United for the betterment of its people,” the organisers noted.
