Kilele 26
Kilele is East Africa’s first and only summit dedicated to music, technology, and culture — a six-day convergence of ideas, sound, experimentation, and community.
Founded to spotlight artists, collectives, thinkers, and technologists working beyond the mainstream, Kilele blends conference sessions, workshops, installations, film screenings, showcases, and after-parties into one immersive cultural experience.
Each February, Nairobi becomes a meeting point for folkloric traditions, future-facing technologies, underground music movements, and global collaborators, creating a space where culture is not just discussed — it’s lived.
