International reggae stars unite for charity concert for Kenya’s deaf community
Internationally acclaimed reggae artist Alborosie and Lovers’ Rock sensation Don Campbell will headline a landmark charity concert at Nairobi’s KICC Tsavo Ballroom on February 15, 2025.
The event will also showcase performances by renowned Kenyan artists Nazizi, Wyre, and the Gravitti Band.
Beyond entertainment, the concert aims to raise awareness and support for Kenya’s deaf community. The event is organised through a collaborative partnership between Dutch social enterprise The Long Trail’s Roots and Culture Travel brand, the Deaf Centre Kwale (a community hub serving Kwale County and Kibera), Mtaani.com, and King Lion Sounds.
“This event represents a powerful fusion of music and social change,” said Jos Wesemann, Managing Director of The Long Trail and Senior Consultant at the Deaf Centre.
Born to deaf parents and fluent in sign language, Wesemann has dedicated his career to supporting deaf communities across Africa. “When I got in touch with Alborosie last year, I invited him to be part of this movement, and he accepted. This will be his first performance in Africa with a band.”
