For Rhumba fans in Nairobi, next Saturday it will be an opportunity to team up with Johnny Junior and BV Band who will be the highlight during the inaugural Nyadhi Festival to be held at the Carnivore Restaurant in Nairobi. According to the organisers of the event the show is set to also celebrate the 15th anniversary since the formation of Johnny Junior's BV Band. In the recent past, Junior and his group have been engaged in a campaign build-up to the festival during shows. Earlier, it was the legendary Ochieng Kabaselleh who was in the forefront of incorporating Lingala lyrics, Luo and rhumba beats. Johnny Junior has since excelled as one of the proponents of using rhumba beats in his recordings.
