The very much hyped Shoke Shoke festival organized by ‘Mwanaume ni Effort’ at KICC last weekend was not good enough for Kenyans. KISS FM presenter Kwambox feels that revellers at the event deserved more from the Nigerian native, Afropop star, Ayra Starr.
Speaking during the KISS FM breakfast show, ex Vybez Radio presenter Kwambox expressed her disappointment.
She believes that Ayra Starr’s performance was too short, and the concert was rushed despite her being the main act.
She suggests that an international artist like Ayra should have performed for at least three hours.
Kwambox attended the concert on March 4th and enjoyed the vibe but feels that Ayra Starr’s performance was unsatisfactory.
For me when I looked at that show, Ayra Starr is a good artist, no disrespect to anyone. I loved Ayra’s outfit.
“I’m now thinking that if an artist can’t perform for three hours and they are international, then they can’t be the main act,”
Argues Kwambox
Sometimes main acts might perform for a short time during concerts or events, this can be caused sometimes, by – Contractual Agreements whereby the Main act, in this case Ayra Starr , might have contractual agreements with the event organizers that specify the duration of the performance. This could be due to budget constraints.
