American R&B superstar Chris Brown and his Nigerian counterpart Wizkid will be performing in Mombasa, Kenya, on Saturday, October 8th. The duo will be headlining the 2016 Mombasa Rocks Music Festival at the Nyali Golf Club. The upcoming Kenyan performance is a sign of the deepening friendship forming between the two artists who have collaborated multiple times since 2013. It also serves as an example of how stars from Africa and America can use music to bridge the cultural divide.
