Jabali Afrika

Cultures of Resistance Awardee — Kenya
Jabali Afrika, formed in the early 1990s, began as a collective of dancers, singers, and drummers originating from the Kenyan National Theatre. Initially centered around traditional Kenyan songs, they quickly gained recognition for their unique fusion of rock, reggae, and African percussion. Their songs often highlight the importance of citizens to be active participants in the political process, emphasizing the power of the people to make a difference. In 2022, Jabali Afrika received a nomination for the 2022 Grammy Awards in the Best Children’s Music Category for their contribution to the album “All One Tribe: A Family Music Collective.”
Jabali Afrika received a Cultures of Resistance Award (CoR Award) in 2023.
