The Ngemi Homecoming Festival in partnership with Manyatta was held at Eva’s Garden Redhill Limuru on Saturday, celebrating Kikuyu culture, featuring a mix of music, art, and fashion.
The day was filled with vibrant performances, including traditional Kikuyu dances from artists such as Wanjiine, Ayrosh, Wacuka, Folk Fusion and a surprise act by Mugithi maestro Samido and hosted by radio personality and comedian Auntie Jemimah.
The event was filled to the brim with thousands of attendees filling the venue which went late up to the night as they enjoyed Kikuyu Traditional Brew and Food.
At the same time, Manyatta celebrated the official launch of its newest innovation – the Pineapple & Mint Can.
Ngemi Homecoming 3.0, powered by Manyatta, lived up to expectations, bringing together some of the most celebrated entertainers from the Kikuyu community for an electrifying night of music.
The highlight of the evening was a surprise performance by Mugithi sensation Samidoh Muchoki, whose set had the entire venue singing along to his hit songs, Toxic Love and Kairitu Gakwa.
The audience was also treated to the soulful sounds of Folk Fusion, a dynamic group of young artists who delivered stirring renditions of classics such as Wangui Muturima Wakwa and Kindu Kia Munai.
Setting the stage for the night’s festivities, Wanjiru wa Njuguna opened with an energetic performance, paving the way for an evening filled with captivating acts.
The comedic brilliance of Aunty Jemimah, alongside the performances of Wanjine, Addeh Prince, and Wachuka, brought an exciting and refreshing energy to the event. Ayrosh and Vicki Vikta delivered a high-energy finale, leaving the audience buzzing with excitement.
In a thrilling moment, Ayrosh also brought out Charisma, who performed his mega-hit Sina Noma, igniting the crowd with enthusiasm.
As an official partner of Ngemi across all its editions, Manyatta was met with overwhelming enthusiasm as attendees embraced its latest innovation—the refreshing fusion of tropical pineapple and invigorating mint, now available in a sleek, ready-to-enjoy can.
Speaking on the brand’s continued partnership with Ngemi, Veronica Waweru, Brand Manager – Manyatta, shared:
