This is the return of Makadem to the Alliance Française de Nairobi, the place that catapulted his career to the international stage, and where he calls “home”. He returns with his unique “Benga Flava” style which fuses Kenyan and other African music, as well as some international genres, into his native Benga Beats, giving it a fresh and broadly contemporary feel.
