On the decks were DJ Caise, DJ Purpl and DJ Joe Mfalme. Kenyan acts included Sauti Sol, Amani, Fena and Sound Afrique. During a press briefing before the concert, BET award winning act, Ice Prince said winning the international award ‘doesn’t mean more cheddah. It means more work more videos and more music to be born. I will not just sit back and rest I have to work even harder.’ The Boombaataa festival will be a yearly pop festival that celebrates African music, arts and culture in a day filled with good music, good food and African arts. This festival is organized by AdrenaLIVE a branch of Adrenalin In Motion that specializes in organising live events.
