Popular American singer Bobby V, formerly known as Bobby Valentino, serenaded R&B fans on Saturday at the much-anticipated ‘We Love R&B’ Concert in Nairobi. The event, held at Nairobi Showground – The Dome, attracted R&B lovers eager to experience the soulful melodies and captivating performance of the renowned artist. As the star performer of the evening, Bobby V did not disappoint. Taking the stage with his signature smooth vocals and charismatic presence, he delivered a setlist that included both timeless classics and fresh hits. Fans were treated to an unforgettable performance as he sang popular tracks such as “Slow Down,” “Anonymous,” and “Tell Me.”
The ‘We Love R&B’ Concert showcased not only Bobby V’s talents but also highlighted the enduring popularity of R&B music in Nairobi. The concert featured a lineup of local artists who set the stage for the main act, warming up the crowd with their own impressive performances and further elevating the night’s energy. The local acts included Nameless, Sanaipei, Okello Max and King Kanja, all whom the crowd loved and sang along word for word to their tunes.
When Bobby V, originally known as Bobby Valentino until a legal dispute with a British artist of the same name prompted a change, burst onto the scene with his 2005 hit “Slow Down,” he was quickly heralded as R&B’s ‘next big thing.’ The Atlanta, Georgia-based singer-songwriter’s self-titled debut album sold over a million copies worldwide. With a string of hit singles and albums, a burgeoning record label and a charitable foundation inspiring the youth, Bobby V is a force in the industry.
Not even the rains outside could stop the fun inside the dome. The atmosphere was electric, with fans expressing their love for R&B and their appreciation for Bobby V’s contribution to the genre.
The highly anticipated concert series is a partnership between BNB & Streetlife International the renowned promoters behind HYPE Festival – Germany’s biggest hip hop and Afrobeats festival and the Kings of R&B Concert Series and Capital FM.
