Kenyan composer and performer Nyokabi Kariũki is based between Maryland, New York and Nairobi. Her compositions range from classical contemporary and experimental music, to film, choral, pop and explorations into sound art, electronics and (East) African musical traditions. She is a classically trained pianist who also plays the mbira and djembe. Her art seeks to bridge her diverse influences – from her penchant for experimentation and improvisation, to her African upbringing and Western classical training.
