In the spirit of World Music Day being observed on Friday, a musical synergy between Kenya and France will be unveiled in Nairobi tonight (June 21, 2024). Singer-songwriter-guitarist Shipton Winyo and Edward Kamau, a Kenyan-born singer, guitarist and producer based in France, will premiere their collaboration, Running for Gold, a song composed to support the Kenyan team to next month’s Olympic Games in Paris.
“This is a homage to Kenyan athletes to mark the occasion and strengthen the links between the two countries,” says Kamau who has lived in France for 15 years. After Friday’s concert, the two musicians will then travel to France next week for a series of performances that coincide with the buildup to the Summer Olympics.
