Watch King Kaka, Naiboi, Khaligraph Jones in the Trace Live virtual concerts
Trace is giving local musicians a chance to thrive and survive in the midst of the global pandemic that has shut down the gig economy for artists while encouraging Kenyans to stay at home. By hosting a series of virtual concerts, the #TraceLive events are supporting the local music industry while helping flatten the curve. The concerts will come to Showmax after they air.
