Commenting on the return of BoomFest as a nationwide tour, Martha Huro, MD East Africa at Boomplay said, “The record positive feedback received after the successful introduction of the BoomFest asset to Kenya earlier this year, has necessitated an encore. BoomFest now evolves into a nationwide tour in Kenya, and what better way to continue celebrating our music and cultural heritage than highlight our rich music genres, Mugithi and Ohangla, at the first event. We are thrilled to have OPPO as the headline partner for this one-of-a-kind musical celebration.”
On her part, Fredrique Achieng, PR manager at OPPO Kenya said, “We’re excited to announce our partnership with BoomFest as OPPO Kenya introduces its latest lineup of devices, including the innovative Reno12 series, the stylish A3 series, and the powerful OPPO Pad Neo. This collaboration is a testament to our dedication to celebrating music and providing technology that enhances the listening experience. We can’t wait to share these devices with the vibrant BoomFest community.”
