Legendary American rapper, singer, and songwriter Lauryn Hill has officially confirmed that she will perform at the Walker Town Festival in Nairobi on September 29th.
Lauryn first gained widespread fame in the 1990s as part of the iconic group The Fugees before launching a highly successful solo career.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Lauryn expressed her excitement about returning to Kenya:
“Mambo Nairobi!
It’s official, we’re coming to Kenya! Fun fact: The first time I visited Nairobi, I was pregnant with my firstborn son, Zion! I’m excited to return and share my music with the incredible people of Kenya.
Next Sunday, 29th September, at Walker Town Nairobi. Tickets are on sale now! Nawapenda! Bless!
Known for her powerful and soulful music, Lauryn Hill has captivated fans worldwide with her timeless hits, including “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” “Doo Wop (That Thing),” “Ready or Not,” “If I Ruled the World,” and “Killing Me Softly with His Song.”
Her last performance in Kenya was in 2019, where she headlined a concert as part of her world tour celebrating her acclaimed album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. This upcoming performance marks her first major return to Kenya since then.
The term “Miseducation” in her album reflects her personal journey of learning through life’s emotional and spiritual struggles. The album remains a powerful expression of growth and self-awareness beyond formal education.
Lauryn Hill, a true music icon, is an eight-time Grammy Award winner. Fans can look forward to her live performance at the Walker Town Festival, where Kenyan hip-hop star Nyashinski is also set to share the stage, bringing a local touch to this international event.
Hill made Grammy history in 1999, becoming the first woman to be nominated in ten categories in a single year and the first woman to win five awards in one night. She took home trophies for Album of the Year, Best R&B Album, Best R&B Song, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, and Best New Artist.
