Swedish music maestro advocates for cross-cultural collaboration

In a week where conversations in Nairobi have been dominated by debates on rescuing the planet from the existential threat of climate change, a musician whose songs are inspired by the beauty of nature staged an audacious cross-cultural collaboration in the city.

Swedish musician and composer Ingrid Schyborger combined her double bass with the nyatiti played by Kenyan vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Makadem, for a concert-themed 'Music in a Chaotic World, Nairobi' on Wednesday night.
