Manyatta Cider and the Folk Fusion festival are set to thrill Nairobi on Saturday 25th May in a spectacular showcase of food, culture, music and African heritage.
The Folk Fusion is a celebration of African music, Africans and Africa. It is the home of traditional tunes, rhythms, movements and contemporary folk culture. This coming together is a celebration of our cultural diversity through the preservation of our heritage. Established in 2018, the Folk fusion has hosted multiple editions that have seen the event grow exponentially, enabling it to move from 150 revellers in the first edition to 2000 revellers in the latest edition.
Manyatta is driven by the desire to appreciate and promote our culture, following its vision of being true to our roots in a modern way. It comes in flavors that are expressions of the Tastes of Africa: Mango, Lemon, Ginger, and Mint. Manyatta is a curator of authentic African Tastes: Fashion, Food, Vibe, you name it.
