KASIVA MUTUA
Updated 7 days ago
Kasiva Mutua may have learned drumming inspired by folktales told by her grandmother, but has developed her own knack for powerful beats. One of Kenya's leading percussionists and drummers, her expressive playing can tell a story on its own, or keep a band perfectly in the pocket...
Today, she's an international touring percussionist, integrating African traditional music with modern styles such as jazz, Hip-Hop, Reggae, funk and more. One of only a few African women playing percussion continentally and internationally, Kasiva plays music to celebrate her community's spirit, tell her people's stories and elevate the place of the African woman in music.
