SMIRNOFF GUEST DJ DINO BRAVO TALKS MUSIC, KENYA AND MORE MUSIC

Smirnoff will this month take Nairobi by storm, as Kenya plans to usher in the New Year at the Carnivore Restaurant.

Dubbed ‘The Night,’ the all-white themed party will for the first time ever in Kenya feature a line-up of 16 DJs playing on 3 stages, in what promises to be the biggest New Year’s Eve party the capital city has ever seen.

Leading the DJ pack will be international DJs Shaun ‘Banger’ Scott from the U.K. and Dino Bravo from South Africa, two of the hottest DJs on the global entertainment scene at the moment.
