The audience were also entertained by their governor as he performed Katerina, his favourite song.
Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic struck, musicians have been calling on the government to resume concerts since that is where they earn a living.
They said it was unfair for politicians to hold rallies while entertainment gatherings were banned.
Recently, Uhuru Kenyatta visited the 26-acre park which cost over KSh 400 million to be revived.
The revived park is now an integrated urban tourist attraction site.
