‘INSHA’ explores the role of music in Kenyan culture and storytelling, particularly in traditional ceremonies, aiming to bridge the gap between past and future music creators. The project aims to showcase the country’s rich and diverse musical traditions, highlighting the talents of Kenyan artists and offering a fresh perspective on the country’s cultural heritage. This compilation is a unique and innovative exploration of Kenyan music, providing a platform for artists to express themselves and examine the relationship between music and tradition. ‘Insha’ is available on Bandcamp and visit the Nairobi Ableton website.
