Kenyan musician Mutoriah is set to bring a live musical experience to this year’s Nairobi Litfest with a special performance scheduled for Saturday, May 9 at the Eastlands Library from 6 pm to 7 pm.
The performance forms part of the 2026 Nairobi Litfest programme, which blends literature and music as well as cultural conversations across several public library spaces in Nairobi.
Mutoriah, known for major hits like “Beta”, is a multi-instrumentalist skilled at playing piano, acoustic guitar, and the bass guitar. He has also worked with Kenyan acts such as Sauti Sol, Wanavokali and Bensoul. He was also a guest producer at Coke Studio Africa in 2019.
The Eastlands Library event is expected to attract festivalgoers looking for a mix of literature and live entertainment, reflecting Litfest’s broader mission of creating multidisciplinary artistic spaces.
