About

A spirited Kenyan music and dance style born in the 1920s, Mwomboko blends Gikuyu tradition with European ballroom flair, using accordions, metal tins, and iron rings. At this Hadithi Hangout, we’re diving into this ecstatic chapter of Kenyan music history through Shades of Benga. We’ll meet the pioneers, listen to their timeless tunes, and even watch the dances that brought entire villages together. Come connect with fellow music lovers, culture keepers, and curious minds. Whether you’re here to listen, learn, or just groove, karibu. See you soon at The Salon!
