The sound of the city

Nairobi is where genge and, in the late 2010s, gengetone took shape, and the city produced the Afro-pop band Sauti Sol. In the 1970s and 1980s Congolese bands such as Orchestra Super Mazembe made Nairobi their base. Kenyan radio, Swahili radio and African radio go further.

Listening from elsewhere

Nairobi keeps East Africa Time — three hours ahead of UTC all year, with no daylight saving.
