The 14th edition of Koroga festival held at the Arboretum grounds over the weekend saw the young and old alike entertained in a great musical experience.

The event was headlined by legendary Cameroonian musician Sam Fan Thomas, South African DJ and record producer Oskido and Kenyan-based Gilad Millo and no one walked home disappointed.

Gilad opened the show with his well-known soulful ballads which everyone sang along, before he welcomed Dela to the stage to sing their latest duet Nakuahidi.

The song is a dedication to the fallen soldiers.
