December 21, 2024

The music scene is heating up, and MassHouse Live is at the forefront of it all. This month, the entertainment company is turning heads with its highly anticipated #MHLFEST, a celebration of live music, culture, and creativity. One of the festival’s most exciting announcements is the enlistment of Nigerian Afropop star Adekunle Gold, invited by none other than Bien, one of the leading members of the Kenyan boy band Sauti Sol. The combination of these two African powerhouses is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, ensuring that #MHLFEST will be one of the biggest events on the calendar. But that’s not all MassHouse Live has in store for music lovers this month—there’s a lineup of other must-see events that promise unforgettable experiences.

Bien & Adekunle Gold: A Collaboration to Watch

Bien-Aimé Baraza, known simply as Bien, has made waves across Africa and the globe with his unique voice and emotive songwriting as a member of Sauti Sol. But his solo ventures are just as compelling, blending elements of Afrobeat, R&B, and soulful storytelling. At #MHLFEST, Bien is set to elevate his craft by teaming up with Nigeria’s Adekunle Gold, one of the most sought-after artists in Afropop and Afrobeat music. Adekunle Gold's ability to blend Afrobeat with highlife, pop, and a touch of global influence makes his sound both distinct and universally appealing.
The partnership between Bien and Adekunle Gold represents a fusion of East and West African musical influences. It’s more than just a performance—it’s a celebration of Africa’s rich cultural diversity. Bien’s charismatic stage presence combined with Adekunle Gold’s smooth vocals and energetic delivery is sure to make for an electrifying set. Fans of both artists can expect to hear hit songs like Bien’s Mbwe Mbwe and Adekunle Gold’s Okay and It Is What It Is. Rumor has it there could even be a live collaboration between the two on stage, creating a magical moment for festival-goers.

#MHLFEST: More Than Just Music

While the highlight of #MHLFEST may be the Bien and Adekunle Gold collaboration, the festival promises a full-day immersion in music, art, and culture. MassHouse Live is known for creating memorable experiences, and this year’s festival will be no different. The event will showcase a wide range of genres from Afrobeat, reggae, and hip-hop to electronic and soul, bringing together an eclectic mix of local and international artists. Whether you're a lover of live bands or prefer DJs spinning infectious beats, #MHLFEST has something for every music fan.
Beyond the music, #MHLFEST will feature immersive art installations, food vendors offering a variety of cuisines, and spaces for people to connect and engage with the culture. Attendees can expect everything from pop-up shops selling festival merchandise to interactive workshops that delve into topics like African storytelling and fashion.
