The Kenya Cultural Quintet

Much as contemporary American music reflects a wide range of genres and artistic styles, drawn from throughout the world, Kenya's rich choral tradition highlights the humanity and cultural treasures of the country's diverse, multi-ethnic society.

Singing (either solo or as part of an ensemble) is an integral part of family, school, community and spiritual life throughout Eastern and Central Africa.
Accomplished performers, teachers, composers and arrangers in their own right, members of The Kenya Cultural Quintet have come together to share their talents and to build strong alliances with colleagues and music lovers internationally.

With a repertoire of songs spanning the pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial periods, the all-star ensemble takes enthusiastic audiences on a multilayered auditory journey through East African history, culture and society.

Renowned music educator and former President of UNESCO's International Music Council, Dr. Emily Akuno will be joining the group during their time in Tryon. She added,"...The Kenya Cultural Quintet visit brings to the audience and community a cultural, intellectual and spiritual experience that will give them a taste of Africa."
