Dressed in a blue top and trousers to match, Fabrice 29 picks up the microphone and belts out one of his songs Dunia. At one corner, an elderly man nods his head to the beats once in a while commenting on the lyrics of the song.

"Waambie bratha." (Tell them brother.)

A member of his band Rigene Sarkongo

After 11 years, he went solo.

" There comes a time when one has to grow on his own and come up with something that he can be proud of," he says.

He came to Kenya and formed a band and hopes to ‘bewitch’ local fans with his music.

In retrospect, he says artistes should be more supportive of each other.

And to upcoming artistes he says: "Never give up. When you feel you have a goal to achieve, go for it because it is never too late."
