With 2.3 million calls, Airtel TRACE Music Star is the biggest talent competition to ever take place in Africa. The number of contestants for this year’s pan-African talent search surpasses European and American talent shows such as The Voice and Idols.

The 13 finalists converged in a nail-biting head-to-head Grande Finale of epic proportions in Kenya on 28 March 2015. Don’t miss out on all the tears, drama and explosive emotions in the star-studded finale, which displayed a great deal of intensity and tension. After a merciless selection done by the jury, Akon declared that it was the best TV show of his life!

The Grande Finale airs on TRACE Urban (DSTV #325) on Saturday April 18 at 8pm.

The viewers and the judges (multi-platinum award-winning hit-maker Akon, renowned music executive Devyne Stephens and top-selling French Caribbean singer Lynnsha) selected the winner who will get a record deal with Universal Music, mentorship and promotion for a total value exceeding $500,000.
