Kitu Simpo Live Music Experience – Edition III
An intimate Sunday afternoon of live music, stories, community, and connection, curated by Henry Wamai and the Kitu Simpo Friends. What started as a simple gathering of friends has grown into a space where music becomes a gift shared in community. A place to slow down, breathe, laugh, reflect, and simply be present. Come and enjoy live performances in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're catching up with old friends, meeting new people, spending time with family, or simply looking for a peaceful afternoon surrounded by good music and good people, Kitu Simpo has a seat for you. Children are welcome (please keep an eye on them throughout the event), and we'll wrap up by 6:00 PM, leaving you with the rest of your Sunday evening to unwind. Bring a friend. Bring your family. Bring yourself. Music. Community. Stories. Healing.
