NYOTA NDOGO

Bi Nyotta Ndogo

Mombasa-based singer Nyota Ndogo was the only Kenyan act invited for the annual Serengeti Fiesta celebrations in Tanzania that see top acts from the country perform for the members of Parliament in Dodoma.

Nyota spoke to Word Is about the experience, "It was a big event and was full of life and colour. The Serengeti Fiesta is hosted by Clouds FM where the team tours the whole of Tanzania and culminate in a big concert in Dar es Salaam."

She continued: "Being part of these celebrations and making it on the list of performers is a great honour and validation of me as an artiste from Kenya. It shows they recognise and respect my music and talent for which I'm grateful."
The event was held at the Jamuhuri Stadium where thousands attended to watch performances from top acts like Diamond, Godzilla, Belle9, Barnaba, Linah and Mwasiti.
The Watu na Viatu singer had earlier in the year performed at the Zanzibar International Film festival alongside Jamaican singer Shaggy. Nyota is currently riding high with her new song Wao Wao Wanaume with Congolese musician Ricky Mulolo. But her mind is on finishing her three-bedroomed bungalows that she is building in Voi, which she says will be complete "hopefully by next month."
