A Celebration of 30 Years of Music
Scheduled to kick off at 18:00 and run deep into the night until 23:55, the event is designed as a massive tribute to the evolution of Tanzania's most defining cultural export.

Tonight's event aims to bridge the generational gap, honoring the pioneers who built the sound from the ground up while celebrating the modern superstars who are currently carrying the flag worldwide.
