Grammy award-winning artist Kirk Franklin and award-winning gospel music group Maverick City are scheduled to perform in Nairobi on August 17.
The event is part of Kirk Franklin’s world tour dubbed Kingdom World Tour which has made its stops in Europe and Asia with more stops scheduled throughout Africa.
Speaking in a recent interview, Kirk Franklin said, “I am excited about amplifying the message of the good news of Jesus Christ.
“The thing that I want to say to the people coming is that we [receive] a lot of joy, pleasure, and gratitude when people take time out of their busy schedule to come see us and interact with us. And we won’t let them down.”
Mr Franklin’s career in music spans over 32 years which has garnered him 20 Grammy awards. As the visionary behind The Family, the choir collective he founded in 1992, Franklin has carved out a unique space in the genre.
Similarly, the five-time Grammy Award-winning music collective Maverick City Music is excited to collaborate with local artists during their stop in Kenya.
“We’re always hoping to set the standard of collaboration by making space for gifted artists wherever we go. We believe God will move mightily through this tour and the lives of those attending,” said co-founders of Maverick City Music and TRIBL Records Jonathan Jay and Norman Gyamfi previously.
Tickets for the event are still on sale and will take place between 6 PM and 10 PM.
