Santuri East Africa is a community-focused music innovation hub based in Nairobi, Kenya. Their goal is to bring about a more equitable, authentic, and diverse music industry. For a full decade, the Santuri organization has been supporting, highlighting, and releasing a mix of contemporary and traditional music from many regions of Africa. Since 2022, they have found a steady home in the Westlands district of Nairobi, Kenya. From here, the international team provides space and resources and puts on workshops, panels, and showcases for the local scene. Their most ambitious project to date, Kilele – East Africa’s first-ever electronic music summit, ran from February 12–18, 2024, and gathered a global crowd of experimental music enthusiasts in the Kenyan capital.
