By JOSIAH MWANGI More by this AuthorThe coronavirus pandemic has made life unbearable to foreign music bands in the country. Congolese music bands in the country are worst hit, with some musicians in the outfits weighing the option of folding up. For instance, the Amitie Musica Band, a Congolese music outfit based in Mombasa, is at a loss with up to 10 foreign band members directly depending on live stage performances. Crispin Tambwe Kainda, the band leader, fears the worst if foreign bands like theirs are not bailed out. According to Tambwe, there are many major and nondescript Congolese music outfits performing in towns like Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru and Eldoret.
