The BandNairobi, Kenya

A shared language.

The Babaz are a Kenyan trio built on the meeting of three distinct musical voices: Baraza, Ras Amor and Mathai Njama. Based in Nairobi, they write, produce and perform their own music, bringing individual artistry into a collective sound.

Afro-pop, R&B, blues, rhumba, rock and soul sit side by side in their songs. The thread running through them is personal storytelling: love and loss, joy and self-discovery, carried by melodies and rhythms made to move people.

Their chemistry is central to the work. Each member arrives with a solo story; together, they make space for something none of them could create alone.
