Notably for Harmonize (Rajab Abdul Kahali) it will be another opportunity to thrill his Kenyan fans having been away especially during the time shows had taken a break due to the covid-19 pandemic event restrictions.
On arrival, an elated Harmonize promised to treat his fans to the best during the show this evening. Some of his most popular songs are “Mwaka Wangu Mpaka Kesho, Never Give Up”and Niambie.
He has also done collaborations with counterparts like Diamond Platnumz in the songs Kwa ngwaru and Bado, which are arguably some of his best collaborations.
