The ensemble features talents like Mike Jozee, Sanchez Salvador, Niyo Boi, Shirleen Ishenyi, Keisha Harris, Moses Karanja, and others.

This year’s edition, themed “Celebrating Rhythm, Culture and Connection,” will showcase artistic excellence from eight countries: Tanzania, Uganda, Burundi, South Africa, Ghana, France, Tunisia, and Kenya. Also set to perform is the vibrant Malindi-based troupe Kikwetu Dancers.

Attendees can expect an immersive cultural experience blending live music—spanning salsa, kizomba, bachata, semba, and afrobeats—with interactive social dance moments that spotlight top performers from across the continent.

The stage will be further energised by top Nairobi DJs including Jam Mixmaster Dan the DJ and DJ D’Cure, who will keep the dance floor alive with an eclectic mix of Afrobeat, Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, Kizomba, Cha Cha Cha, and Kompa. High-energy Afrobeat dancers will round out the night with visually captivating performances.

Beyond entertainment, AfroLatin Tamasha aims to connect artists and audiences across East and Southern Africa while reinforcing Nairobi as a growing hub for Afro-Latin culture.
