Visiting reggae Maestro Glen Washington now says he considers settling in Kenya. The Jamaican artiste who has been in the country for more than two weeks says Kenya feels like home having acclimatised himself with the climate and society. 

"This is not my first time in the country, for the tour, I wanted to come in early and also relax and see around. When I last performed in Kisumu, I was named Ochieng so this definitely feels like home," he told TNX. 


The 'Strangers In The Night' hitmaker says his band will also be jetting into the country next week ahead of a couple of performances scheduled.  " The Pamoja PERAK Festival in Nakuru will be massive for me as I am also excited to perform there. The love that I have received so far is amazing," he stated. 


Speaking at press conference, PERAK National Chairman Michael Muthami said the event will kick start a series of concerts to be held across the country, with the Mashujaa Day event being headlined by Glen Washington, but will also see a foray of local artistes perform.


"We are organising this great event to mark our 20th anniversary celebrations since its inception.

"We saw the best way to celebrate this great milestone is to go the cities outside the capital give our members a platform to display what they have in the hospitality industry," he said.

This will provide an opportunity for our members in the hospitality industry, an opportunity to network across the country and globally so as to improve their business. 

We will also use this opportunity as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility to entertain the less fortunate children from two children's homes in Nakuru and also plant 5,000 trees in Nakuru in some selected areas an exercise which will be graced by Glen and Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika.
