"Tempo" hitmaker Dufla Diligon recently took to Instagram to urge Kenyans to support Guardian Angel's upcoming concert, Gospol 1.

He stressed the importance of valuing and supporting local artists, calling it crucial for the community to rally behind its own.

Dufla criticized Kenyans for showing overwhelming support to foreign artists while neglecting homegrown talent.

"Kenyans are good at showing up for foreign events, but when it comes to supporting their own, they fall short," he wrote.

Gospel artist Guardian Angel is set to headline Gospol 1, one of the biggest gospel events, which will take place at Sankara Hotel in Westlands on August 17th.

This event marks his significant comeback in the gospel industry.

Dufla pointed out how Israel Mbonyi's concert was packed, with many people showing up to support the Rwandan artist.

He urged those who attended Mbonyi's concert to join them at Sankara to support Guardian Angel. "Those who went to the Mbonyi Concert, let’s meet at Gospol 1 to support Guardian Angel," he added.

During the 2023 Grammy Awards, it was noted that Kenya is struggling to break through globally, as Kenyans seem to prefer Nigerian Afrobeat and South African Amapiano over their own music.
