If there is one thing Kenyans are known for other than being Corrupt and cunning it is that we have pathetic music promoters.

Promoters have their work cut out for them to satisfy Rihanna’s demands.

Rihanna will be travelling with a party of 60 people. They will need local transportation to and from the hotel during the tour.

For accommodation, they will need 20 single rooms in a five star and above, 10 single rooms and 15 double rooms in a four star.

Their catering demands are addressed in the “Hospitality Riders”.

All this comes after Rihanna’s management sought to look to bring her to Kenya for a concert. We are yet to find out if any Kenyan promoter has been selected to be part of the tour.

This news was broken by Phat! Productions founding director Mike Strano.

Mike shared a letter from Rihanna’s management, searching for a credible promoter who can take up the East African leg of the tour, specifically in Kenya.

It read: “Rihanna is going on tour this fall. We are looking at September 1-October 31.”

Mike said, “Yes, I believe Rihanna will get at least 2-3 shows in Africa, probably Johannesburg and Cape Town, as traditional markets for such A-listers. Then maybe Lagos.”

“Since we put the word out this morning, we’ve had an inquiry from Kenya and Tanzania. We expect one from Uganda, as they’ve also hosted A-listers before.”​

Mike says Kenyan fans should cross their fingers.

Asked how easy it will be for a Kenyan promoter to take this up financially and technically, Mike said, “In every market, this would need to be a heavy sponsor-driven concert.”
