Reggae Meets Zilizopendwa – A Fusion of Timeless Sounds Set for May 31 at Vibanda Village

Nairobi, Kenya — May 21, 2025 — Prepare for an unforgettable evening of musical nostalgia and soul-stirring rhythms as Reggae Meets Zilizopendwa takes center stage at Vibanda Village on Saturday, May 31, 2025, from 6:00 PM. This unique event celebrates two of East Africa’s most beloved genres in one harmonious fusion—the conscious pulse of Reggae and the golden melodies of Zilizopendwa.

Brought to life by a passionate team of curators, this celebration is a tribute to Kenya’s rich musical heritage and the enduring influence of Reggae as a force for unity, love, and truth. Set in the atmospheric open-air setting of Vibanda Village, Reggae Meets Zilizopendwa invites music lovers from all walks of life to come together and experience a night of groove, memory, and connection.

Zilizopendwa, Swahili for “songs that were loved,” will bring the nostalgic charm of Swahili classics, filled with harmonies, rich storytelling, and timeless instrumentation. In perfect contrast and complement, Reggae will raise the tempo with its signature basslines, conscious lyrics, and infectious rhythm.

Expect performances by seasoned live bands, dynamic DJs, and guest vocalists delivering both faithful renditions and innovative mashups of the two genres. Whether you’re dancing to the soulful sounds of Maroon Commandos or vibing to the energy of Lucky Dube and Bob Marley classics, the night promises to be a powerful tribute to Kenya’s musical past and present.

Join us for a musical journey across generations, where culture, roots, and rhythm meet under one sky. Reggae Meets Zilizopendwa—because great music never grows old.
