Nomadic Arts Festival: A celebration of music and culture of Northern Kenya in Nairobi

Get ready for a night of music and culture as the inaugural Nomadic Arts Festival takes place on Friday, December 6 at the Oshwal Center in Westlands, Nairobi. Described by the CEO of Content House Kenya, Jackie Lebo, as the culmination of a decade of work in Northern Kenya, the festival brings together years of creative investment, with artists currently in rehearsal alongside a full orchestra to deliver a memorable live experience. Inspired by the success of the Turkana Artists Xchange project, known for bridging tradition and modern expression, Nomadic Arts Festival expands this vision by creating a platform for Northern Kenyan artists to connect with new audiences in Nairobi. Beyond the stage, the festival also seeks to support local economies through a curated marketplace that spotlights artisans and small businesses, while celebrating the region’s cultural richness.
