Kisumu’s rhumba enthusiasts were left disappointed on Saturday night after Congolese maestro Koffi Olomide failed to perform as expected during the much-hyped Msuqa Festival held at the Jomo Kenyatta International Stadium.
Despite fans paying up to KShs15,000 for tickets, the celebrated artiste appeared on stage without his Quater Latin Band and danced briefly to pre-recorded tracks much to the chagrin of his fans.
Zachary Mbima, a staunch lover of the Effrakata hit song singer, said he arrived at the venue at 8pm but had to wait until 3am when the musician appeared on stage for less than 20 minutes.
“I can’t believe that I paid Sh15,000 just to watch Koffi shout ‘Yaka! Yaka makisa! Yaka Mopao!’ into the microphone for 10 minutes before leaving. I highly regret wasting my hard-earned money. I could have spent that time with my family,” said an irate Mr Mbima.
