Music Meets Marathon: A Weekend of Good Vibes
Preparations for the seventh annual CRDB Bank International Marathon are wrapping up in Dar es Salaam, and guess who just touched down to add some serious star power? None other than Grammy-nominated R&B artist Trey Songz! He’s in town to headline the inaugural IMBEJU Sauti Moja Concert, kicking off a fantastic weekend that perfectly blends lively music, exciting sport, and important community support. He’ll be sharing the stage with some amazing talents like Nigeria’s BNXN, South Africa’s Kabza De Small, and local stars Mbosso and G Nako.
Trey shared his excitement upon arrival, saying he was “overwhelmed but happy” to perform and connect with his Tanzanian fans. Even local superstar Diamond Platnumz was there to greet him at the airport, showing a warm welcome and hinting at past collaborations between the two artists.
More Than Just a Show: Making a Difference
But Trey’s visit isn't just about the music. He also made time for some incredibly heartwarming engagements. He visited children at the Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute, where young patients are receiving vital care thanks to funds raised by the CRDB Bank International Marathon. It was a beautiful opportunity to see firsthand the direct impact of the marathon's support on these children’s lives.
He also met with aspiring young entrepreneurs who are part of the Imbeju program, an initiative from the CRDB Bank Foundation. This program helps young people develop business skills, financial know-how, and access to capital, turning their bright ideas into sustainable ventures. Trey got to hear about their dreams and challenges, adding another layer of social purpose to his trip.
This weekend promises to be unforgettable! The concert officially kicks off the festivities leading up to the marathon on Sunday. Thousands are expected to participate, from runners to families and corporate teams, all coming together for a great cause. Trey is set to perform many of his beloved hits, so it's bound to be a memorable show!
