The Nigerian country music ambassador touched down in the capital yesterday, fresh off the plane and straight into a whirlwind of warm Kenyan welcomes. “So much love for The Country Man in Kenya.

The Country Man loves Kenya,” he shared in a video online, flashing that signature smile against a backdrop of excited fans.

Nigeria's The Country Man touches down in Kenya

He’s here to headline the 2nd Edition International Cowboys & Cowgirls Day Festival—and Nairobi is ready. This city has quietly built a devoted country music subculture, so expect the Ngong Racecourse & Golf Park to transform into a sea of boots, belts, and wide-brimmed hats come Saturday, July 25.

The two-day festival kicks off on July 25, but all eyes are on his main-stage set that evening. The man practically invented “Afro-Country,” blending twang with a rhythm that hits different. Will he pull out the cowboy hat? Almost certainly. Will the crowd lose it? Absolutely.

This is a cultural handshake between continents, served with a side of denim and dust. Grab your boots. See you at the racecourse.
