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.

Rapper King Kaka needs no introduction, and the two-hour premiere of the Trace Live series featured a musical mash-up, as his two personas and two musical styles, one past and one present, battled it out on centre stage. The gig also featured performance artists Fena, Femi One and Amos & Josh. Watch it here.
