Judging by their mind-blowing collaborations with the likes of C4 Pedro, Eddy Kenzo, Yemi Alade and Kenyan favorites Sauti Sol, it is evident that the band are in tune with the musical pulse of Africa, and 2018 will see the group embarking on the long anticipated ‘Legacy Tour’ which spans the African continent.
This tour aims to invigorate our continent with as much positivity and philanthropy as Mi Casa can muster, all with the power of their glorious music! While the band are most definitely looking forward to their ‘Legacy Tour’ next year, the rest of 2017 sees the band going further afield to play some impressive venues in Canada, Texas, Portugal and The UK.
During Mi Casa’s international career, the guys have amassed a truly diverse fan base overseas and aim to grow this by the time the year is out. They will then bring it all back to their roots, firmly anchored in Africa, and continue to grow and share their creative output with their adoring fans the world over. This is a refreshing act. A must see. “We are nothing without people. All we wanna do is spread that good energy and make people dance. Looking forward to growing the familia across the globe.” – J’Something, lead singer of the band.
