Nyashinski Regrets Missing Madaraka Festival Due To Visa Issues
In a heartfelt message, Kenyan music icon Nyashinski revealed his team’s visa applications for the Madaraka Festival USA Tour were denied. Despite the organizers’ efforts, the tour will proceed without him.
“We were incredibly excited for the tour,” Nyashinski said, apologizing for any inconvenience caused.
The Madaraka Festival, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, is a renowned event showcasing African music, culture, and community across the US.
Kicking off on May 25th in Dallas, the festival tours thirteen cities before culminating in a two-day extravaganza in Seattle, coinciding with Juneteenth celebrations.
While Nyashinski’s absence is a blow, a stellar lineup of other African artists is still set to perform.
