Barely a month after a thrilling performance by Koffi Olomide at the bi-monthly Koroga Festival, Jazz legend Manu DiBango gave a stellar performance at the 12th edition of the event. The Soul Makossa hit maker was backed by his Soul Makossa gang that attrtacted all sorts different people. Other performers included The Different Faces Band, Karen ‘Kaz’ Lucas, June Gachui and Maurice Kirya. Each act put up a good show that made up for the dull weather. Here are some pictures from the event;
Set up for the concert
And slowly the crowd grew bigger

Then they were joined by Kaz Lucas…beautiful as ever
June Gachui belting out a note that left us with chills
And the ladies took it away…

the Soul Makossa Gang doing their thing
The main man himself took the stage…Manu Dibango
Backed by the beautiful ladies
And everyone wanted to capture every minute of it…
Manu Dibango had people on their feet…
And it was a perfect close. 🙂
This was my first Koroga Festival and despite the delay and a few technical hitches it was a good show. Looking forward to the next one.
