Oops! Sauti Sol Aren’t The Only Kenyan Musicians To Sing For Obama. Here Are FIRST Kenyan Artists To Entertain The US President

For a while, we all thought Sauti Sol were the only Kenyan band to have sung for the world’s most powerful man. But we were all wrong, The Kenyan Boys Choir did sing for Obama even before he made his way to the country.

Founded in the year 2004, The Kenyan Boys Choir also known as Boys Choir of Kenya, comprises of exceptionally talented boys from different high Schools, colleges and universities around Kenya with ages ranging from 17 – 26 years. The Kenyan Boys Choir was privileged to be the ONLY choir that performed at President Barrack Obama’s inauguration in 2009 in Washington DC.

They will be leaving the country soon. So If you haven’t been privileged enough to listen to the magical voices of the choir in any concert; then make a date to watch them perform live on the 6th of September at The Professional center from 3;30- 5.30PM and from 6-7:30 PM.

This concert will be their send-off concert right before they embark on a 3 month tour to North America that is sponsored by their long time partner Free the Children. Their first stop is Toronto followed by Vancouver, then Los Angeles among other cities.

Hope to see you all at the concert!
