JazzSymphonic
Celebrating Kenya's Jazz & Classical Music Scene
About Jazzsymphonic :
Jazzsymphonic is an intimate space for music lovers, jazz musicians, classical performers, and curious minds who appreciate great music and the creative artistic space in Kenya. In this space, I share my personal views on what is happening in the jazz and classical music scene in Kenya.
I give special attention to Kenyan musicians, their live performances, interviews, and my own reflections on this intricate art form. On occasion, my musical explorations lead me to write about international artists and concerts—both in Kenya and abroad.
This site is dedicated to introducing people to live music spaces, highlighting new music and album releases, and reviewing noteworthy live shows. Each article is designed to preview and celebrate the music, while also encouraging readers to think differently about music and to appreciate Nairobi’s vibrant live music scene.
My intention is that what I chronologically document here will serve as an introduction to one of the beautiful facets of Kenyan culture.
"There are two kinds of music: good music, and the other kind."
— Duke Ellington
As a writer, I choose to focus only on the good. On this platform, I avoid negative critiques, and every piece I share is carefully selected with time and thought. My mission through Jazzsymphonic is to take you on an exceptional Kenyan musical journey—one that celebrates Classical music, Afro-Jazz, and undiscovered sounds. I hope this space inspires a deeper love for music, encourages curiosity, and reminds you to simply enjoy the rhythm and beauty of sound.
