Rigga's #RingFingerTour - Botswana #CTA101

















Rigga (real name Charles Righa) is a Rapper, Singer, Songwriter, Recording/Performing Artiste from Nairobi, Kenya (East Africa). His musical content and world view is heavily influenced by his Christian faith as he seeks to create content that edifies the youth of the African continent.
Rigga's maiden project was the highly acclaimed debut album titled "The Awakening" released in December 2007. This album was produced by David "Blackman" Muthami while under the Kijiji Records stable and had notable hits such as "Ibada Yangu" and "The Tongue." After a long hiatus, Rigga made his comeback to the music scene as an Artiste / Assistant Creative Director on the "Freedom Mixtape" (alongside Jaaz “That Guy” Odongo in 2012). This was an internet based initiative that had 12 free for download songs featuring a collective of musicians.
In December 2012, Rigga released his sophomore album project dubbed "Urban Prayers". This album project features the production talents of Jaaz Odongo, David "Blackman" Muthami & Patrick "Saint P" Mbaru. The singles from Urban Prayers include "Sina Chorus" & his newest release "Ring Finger". With Urban Prayers, Rigga's sound has grown and evolved to be more eclectic and versatile, giving him a much wider appeal.
Rigga has received numerous nominations from a host of award schemes over the years including the 2013 Annual Groove Awards, where he was nominated for Album of the Year & Hip Hop Song of the Year (for "Urban Prayers" & "Sina Chorus" respectively.) Associated acts include: Kanjii Mbugua, Neema Ntalel, Astar, Atemi Oyungu, Bupe, Noel Nderitu, Lisa Oduor-Noah, Dan "Chizi" Aceda, Kato Change and a host of others.
