Ferre Gola, like his equally versatile counterpart, Fally Ipupa, with whom he teamed up during his stint with Koffi, is in the class of the new generation of rumba musicians whose style attracts fans of all ages. PHOTO| FILE| NATION MEDIA GROUP
“Ferre will first perform in Nairobi and travel the next day for a show in Dar es Salaam,” said Nsana, who has in the past put together several successful concerts by Congolese stars.
Another consideration in changing Ferre’s date was a request by other fans in East Africa that his tour coincide with the second anniversary of the death of his legendary compatriot, Tabu Ley, who died on November 30, 2013 in a Belgian hospital.
In a recent television interview in Kinshasa, Ferre confirmed that he would be travelling to Kenya and Tanzania and would use his shows to honour Tabu Ley.
Nairobi fans of Congolese crooner Ferre Gola will have to wait for another three weeks before his much awaited show in the city.
Organisers have said Ferre will now perform at Bomas of Kenya on November 27 instead of the earlier date of November 7.
