Kenyan-Norwegian music sensation Matata is finally coming home — and fans couldn’t be more excited.
The internationally acclaimed Afro-pop group has officially announced their homecoming concert in Nairobi, set for August 9, 2025, promising an unforgettable night of music, dance, and vibrant Kenyan culture.
Matata made the announcement through their social media platforms, sparking buzz among fans eager to see the group bring their signature energy to a Kenyan stage.
From Oslo to Nairobi: The Rise of Matata
Formed in Oslo, Norway in 2016, Matata began as a tight-knit group of friends bonded by their shared Kenyan roots and a passion for dance and performance. What started in European dance studios has since evolved into a global music movement, with the group now recognized as East Africa’s most dynamic Afro-pop export.
Their sound blends Gengetone, Afrobeats, hip-hop, and dancehall, all delivered in Sheng, Kikuyu, and Swahili, fused with a unique global flair.
Since dropping their debut single ‘Denge’ in 2019, Matata has steadily built a reputation for catchy hooks, high-energy visuals, and explosive live shows. Their catalogue features fan favorites like:
- ‘Mpishi’ ft. Bien
- ‘Tiki Tako’ ft. Mejja
- ‘Mare Mare’
- ‘Kata’
- ‘Mapema’
These tracks have earned them widespread airplay in Kenya, Europe, and beyond, and helped grow a global fanbase drawn to their authentic, bold sound.
Homecoming with a Purpose
Matata’s August 9 concert in Nairobi is a cultural homecoming. After years of representing Kenyan creativity abroad, the band is coming back to connect with their roots and celebrate the fans who have followed them from day one.
Their performances are renowned for being more than just music. Expect an electrifying stage show packed with choreography, live vocals, crowd interaction, humor, and that unmistakable Matata vibe.
What to Expect in Nairobi
While venue and ticketing details are set to be released in the coming days, the concert is already being hyped as one of the must-attend events of 2025 in Kenya’s entertainment calendar.
Matata is expected to perform a mix of chart-topping hits and new material, giving Nairobi fans a front-row seat to the evolution of a group that has stayed proudly Kenyan while making global moves.
If their European shows — from Amsterdam to Paris — are anything to go by, Nairobi is in for a night of unmatched Afro-pop euphoria.
Nairobi, Are You Ready?
With this homecoming, Matata is doing more than just returning. They’re making a statement about Kenyan excellence, global culture, and the power of staying true to your identity.
As the countdown to August 9 begins, one thing is clear — Matata is ready to bring the house down.
