One Vibe Africa, Vybez Radio, Pulser, Coalition for Grassroots Human Rights Defenders-Kenya, Billian Music Family Foundation, Tribeless Youth, Afro Diaspora SF, Sky Creative, Northwest Arts Streaming Hub, Homeland Events, Gig Dynamics, and other organizations, sponsors, and partners are proud to bring to you the 2020 virtual Madaraka Festival on June 27th.

The concert will support 500 small businesses run by women in Mathare, Manyatta and Nyalenda slums in Kenya.

Madaraka Festival brings Africa’s finest musicians and creatives together with world renowned artists and innovators for a celebration of music and civic purpose.

In 2019, this international cultural extravaganza was a culmination of an entire week of activities happening in Africa for the first time, and featured live music, storytelling, poetry, exhibitions, workshops, and a film festival.

Since 2014, Madaraka Festival has attracted more than 10,000 patrons & reached over 12 million people digitally. This is an amazing opportunity to strengthen One Vibe's work, deepen the relationship between East African communities, Diaspora and Kenya and foster growing partnerships. 

Additionally, Sunday May 31st will mark the beginning of the Panga Bizz After COVID-19 campaign, which will culminate with the virtual Madaraka Festival on June 27th, and officially end on June 30th.

The $50,000 which organisers are hoping to raise through Panga Bizz After COVID-19 will be used to provide grants of $100 to each female-owned business.

''We will be telling the stories of the women we are supporting through this initiative throughout the campaign to help connect them to the audiences and supporters of this campaign'' reads a statement from the organisers.
