Ethno Kenya

ETHNO KENYA 2026 welcomes you to 12 days of music workshops, rehearsals, cultural exchange and concerts in the Nyanza region in Kenya from 18th-29th of July 2026. 

 At Ethno Kenya you will experience the community spirit and local traditions as we camp, exchange and share our music in the beautiful Kachien village.  You will learn from incredible musicians through oral tradition and share music from your own culture to the other participants. You will get to tour and play concerts at different venues in the Nyanza region and enjoy the scenic views of Lake Victoria, Africa’s biggest lake. 

A MUSIC EXCHANGE FOR LIFE

Apply as a musician if you want to be part of an immersive cultural experience and explore Kenyan and global music traditions. As a musician participant you will sharpen your skills in playing,  teaching and arranging traditional music from around the world, perform with a big music ensemble with diverse instruments and build new friendships and network with fellow musicians. Two experienced artistic mentors Amalie Malmgren Asmild and John Ombasa will help you to reach the best of your skills.
