Radio Hosts Mwalimu Rachel and King’ori Host Live Show at Carnivore

Kameme FM’s Mwalimu Rachel and King’ori Take Morning Show Live at Carnivore
In a spectacular event that blurred the lines between radio and live entertainment, Kameme FM’s beloved morning show hosts Mwalimu Rachel and King’ori moved their studio to the iconic Carnivore grounds for a massive live broadcast. The event, dubbed Kameme Live at Carnivore, drew thousands of loyal listeners for a morning of music, comedy, and direct interaction with the radio personalities who are a daily fixture in their homes and cars. The successful turnout highlighted the immense pulling power of vernacular radio and the deep connection these hosts have built with their audience.
The Carnivore grounds were transformed into a vast open-air studio, complete with a main stage, live bands, and segments that mirrored the show’s regular format but on a grander scale. Listeners, many of whom had traveled from various parts of the central region and beyond, were treated to live performances from top Kikuyu genge artists, gospel singers, and comedians. The hosts engaged with the crowd, taking song requests, hosting games, and discussing community issues, creating an electric atmosphere that resonated with the station’s signature blend of information and entertainment.
The energy from our listeners is always felt through the phone, but to see it, to feel it in person with thousands of people singing along—it’s humbling and powerful. This is more than a radio show; it’s a family reunion, Mwalimu Rachel addressed the cheering crowd. The event was also a significant commercial success, with multiple sponsors activating booths and vendors catering to the massive gathering.
The resounding success of Kameme Live at Carnivore sets a new benchmark for audience engagement in Kenyan radio. It demonstrates that in an increasingly digital age, the desire for tangible, community-based experiences remains strong. The event is likely to inspire other major stations to invest in large-scale live broadcasts, recognizing them as a powerful tool for brand-building and listener loyalty. For Kameme FM, the event was a triumphant celebration of its cultural influence, proving that the voices emanating from the radio can indeed mobilize a community into a festival.
