Very sad news coming from Beneath The Baobabs Venue who have lost a friend and colleague in a tragic accident. Our deepest condolences.

It is with regret that we as Beneath the Baobabs have asked .africa to postpone the upcoming Boogie Bones and Brews event, billed for this Sunday, where both and were pitched to perform a rocking show.

Those of you within our community will know that we all just lost a great friend and crew member recently. As the memorial is set for the same day, we feel it right to honor our team and family members so that we can pay our respects as one strong Kilifi Community.

We will be sure to find a new date for this amazing event, which will be communicated later in the year.

Thanks so much to our partners for being so understanding.
