Nairobi is “The Peoples’ City”. 

There is no Nairobi without its people; they are the heart and soul of this extreme, vibrant and powerful metropol. From the most beautiful aspects of humanity to the worst things we humans can produce, everything exists in Nairobi; from extreme poverty, prostitution, corruption and drug abuse, to the love of the friendliest people who share their food and life’s with you and make you feel so welcome. 

Nairobi also has a vibrant urban art-scene full of street art and galleries. There are also, some underground and others more visible, musicians, who create their own Kenyan reggae, hip-hop, Benga, Kapuka, dancehall and afro-soul. Music in Nairobi is about movement and dance, if you cannot shake your matako to its tune, it’s not considered music. 

Nairobi consists of many small cities in the city, each one of them is very different from the rest. Matatues travel through these different worlds with their loud music bringing coherence to this segregated place. The music played in the Matatus is combines with hundreds of other sounds and voices trying to get attention for their unique existence. 

I’m totally in love with the people of Nairobi! Besides my love for music and Matatus what makes Nairobi so memorable for me is the great spirit of its people with their kind and sharing hearts and their ability and drive to create something good for themselves, there beloveds, fellow citizens and the coming generations.  

This podcast consists out of a small amount of the millions of story’s that together create Nairobi, and I’m sorry for all those story’s I didn’t capture. I hope this podcast provides some insight into the great minds and hearts of the individuals who make Nairobi the best city if have ever been to. I’m thankful for all the people who showed me the way, and let me into their lives. That’s the biggest present possible. This is my gift back and a ”Tribute” to the people of Nairobi’.
