How Gravitti Band’s performance went down at Nairobi Jam


Reggae fans in Nairobi were on Friday evening treated to a steamy session by one of the leading reggae bands in the country, Gravitti Band, during the monthly Nairobi Jam concert.

The hyped up crowd got nearly two hour of music therapy for free at the Goethe Institute.

Gravitti Band lead vocalists Miss Okinda and Ian Maistro, backed by a full live band, kept the crowd energized with reggae tunes from back in the day to the present global hits.

Before and after the band performed, the fans were treated to some more music from DJ Abedi.
