Fête de la Musique: A Night of Tradition and Contemporary Sounds

To celebrate Fête de la Musique, Alliance Française de Nairobi invites you to a vibrant evening of live music on Friday, June 19, in its garden.

Three artists, three distinct universes, and one shared energy: music that moves between tradition and contemporary expression.

The evening will open with Anyango, who brings the nyatiti — a traditional Kenyan instrument — to life by blending ancestral sounds with modern influences, creating a unique dialogue between past and present.

She will be followed by Nabalayo, whose captivating voice is accompanied by the obokano. Drawing inspiration from the Changanya movement, he reinterprets folk traditions with a fresh, contemporary approach.

To close the night, Bbrave will take over the decks with a dynamic DJ set mixing contemporary beats and African sounds, keeping the energy alive into the evening.

When traditional instruments meet today’s sounds, something special happens — a shared musical experience that brings people together.

Check out the artists:
