  "account": "On October 3, Capital FM is set to celebrate its 30th anniversary with a unique event called the Third Flow Experience. This concert will feature three generations of Kenyan music, showcasing artists and DJs from the Pioneers era (1996-2006), Culture Shapers era (2006-2016), and The Next Flow era (2016-2026). The event, taking place at The Stables Magnate City in Limuru, aims to bring together the music, artists, and listeners who have been part of the country’s changing music scene since 1996.\n\nThe lineup includes iconic artists such as Juacali, Sanaipei, Fena, Juliani, Femi One, Daddy Owen, Serro, Njerae, and Bensoul, among others. Each generation brings its own musical style and era, creating a diverse and vibrant concert experience. The DJ lineup will also add another dimension to the event, connecting different sounds and eras to create an engaging atmosphere.\n\nCapital FM's decision to feature only Kenyan musicians and DJs for this event underscores the station's commitment to promoting and connecting with the Kenyan music scene for the past 30 years. The event pays tribute to the station's journey, as well as the artists and audiences who have grown with it. Founder Lynda Holt recently returned to the station to reflect on her time with Capital FM and the decision to hand over ownership to Dr. Chris Kirubi. The anniversary celebrations have also seen the return of familiar voices such as Eric Latiff, Laura Walubengo, Maqbul Mohamed, Renee Ngamau, Amina Abdi Rabar, DJ Joe Mfalme, Muthoni Bwika, and DJ Tumz, allowing former colleagues and audiences to reminisce about significant moments in the station's history.\n\nThe Third Flow Experience promises to be a celebration of Kenyan music, showcasing the talents that have defined the country's music scene over the past three decades. With a ticket price of Sh3,500 inclusive of a meal, this event offers a unique opportunity for fans of Kenyan music and Capital FM to come together and experience the evolution of the nation's music landscape.",
