Naomi Raine To Headline “Praise Atmosphere” Worship Concert In Kenya
Naomi Raine To Headline “Praise Atmosphere” Worship Concert In Kenya. Praise Atmosphere has announced what they are calling a landmark moment for the annual gathering: Naomi Raine, the unmistakable voice from the United States and one of contemporary worship’s most resonant ministers, will perform at this year’s event on December 7 at CITAM KAREN, NAIROBI, KENYA.
The booking marks the first time Praise Atmosphere will host an overseas guest from the U.S., and organisers say they expect the encounter to be a spiritual and cultural high point for worshippers across Kenya and the wider region.
“We are deeply honoured to welcome Naomi Raine to Kenya,” Praise Atmosphere organisers said. “All the way from the United States, she brings a heavenly sound that has touched countless souls around the world. Get ready to encounter God in a new dimension.”
Naomi Raine’s presence at Praise Atmosphere is significant not simply because of her international profile, but because of the shape of worship she represents — a blend of raw, gospel-rooted vocal power and a modern collective-driven sound that has influenced global worship gatherings in recent years. Raine rose to prominence through her work with the Maverick City Music collective, where her voice became a signature on songs that bridged church rooms and concert stages.
Audiences in Nairobi can expect to hear the songs and stylistic hallmarks that made Naomi a household name in contemporary worship: soaring, intimate lead vocals, moments of spontaneous worship, and songs that emphasise both vulnerability and praise. Tracks she helped popularise — including powerful anthems such as “Jireh” and live favourites like “Promises” — have become staples in churches and playlists worldwide, and they showcase the kind of worship flow Naomi often brings to a live setting
Beyond her work with Maverick City Music, Naomi has developed a strong solo profile: her solo releases and live projects have been praised for emotional honesty, artistic clarity, and a pastoral heart that seeks to lead worship as ministry rather than performance. In recent years, she’s released solo studio and live projects and has continued to expand her reach through tours and collaborations, bringing gospel music into broader cultural conversations while maintaining a clear focus on spiritual ministry.
For Kenyan worship leaders, church bands and young gospel artists, Naomi’s visit represents more than a headline act — it’s an opportunity for cross-pollination. Praise Atmosphere’s programming historically mixes corporate worship, teaching, and artist showcases; Naomi’s style, known for its improvisational runs and communal invocation, could spark fresh approaches to set lists, vocal arrangements and local songwriting in churches and youth gatherings after the festival. Expect worship leaders to listen closely and musicians to trade ideas long after the final note fades.
