The CHAN 2024 final was more than Morocco’s football triumph—it was a cultural carnival. Tanzanian sensation Zuchu, Uganda’s BET Award winner Eddy Kenzo, and Kenya’s own Savara (formerly of Sauti Sol) transformed Kasarani Stadium into a mega concert arena on Saturday, August 30.
Zuchu Commands the Stage
Before the Morocco vs Madagascar clash, Zuchu electrified the crowd with her hits Sukari and Amanda, as thousands sang along.
Clad in an emerald-green top with silver-fringed sleeves and a golden-beige, grass-inspired skirt that shimmered with each move, she dazzled both live fans and social media, stealing hearts with her infectious energy.
Savara Showcases Kenyan Flair
Kenya’s Savara followed in a sparkling white suit laced with reflective beadwork. His flared trousers and glittering silver boots added retro drama, while his bouncing dreadlocks and signature shades sealed his magnetic stage presence.
Eddy Kenzo Unites Africa
Eddy Kenzo raised the tempo, thrilling fans with his Afrobeats anthems that had the stadium on its feet. His set was a reminder of music’s power to transcend borders, blending seamlessly with the spirit of continental football.
Buzz & Backlash Online
While the stadium roared in delight, reactions online were divided. Some Kenyan fans felt the spotlight leaned too heavily on foreign acts. One X user argued: “Zuchu should be replaced with Tanasha Donna,” while another insisted: “Tunataka Bien buana!”
Despite the debate, the closing ceremony was nothing short of spectacular—an unforgettable explosion of music, dance, and African pride that crowned the CHAN 2024 finale in grand style.
