Nanyuki came alive over the weekend as music, street art and culture collided in an electrifying celebration that transformed Zero Percent Lounge into one of the country's hottest entertainment destinations.
Hundreds of revellers turned out for an immersive evening headlined by Kenyan hitmaker Mejja, whose crowd-pleasing performance set the tone for a night defined by high-energy music, creative expression and unforgettable moments.
From sing-along anthems and pulsating DJ sets to live mural art and premium lifestyle experiences, the event showcased how entertainment continues to evolve beyond concerts into cultural experiences that bring together artists, creatives and music lovers.
The celebration formed part of Johnnie Walker's Afro Exchange platform, which continues to create spaces where African talent, creativity and community take centre stage.
Mejja had the crowd singing along to his biggest hits, including Siaka, one of his biggest songs of the year.
DJ Candi and DJ Cupid kept the momentum going with electrifying sets throughout the night, while MC Mido seamlessly guided the evening, ensuring the energy remained high from start to finish.
"Nanyuki has become one of Kenya's most exciting travel destinations, bringing together adventure, culture and unforgettable experiences," said Josephine Katambo, Marketing Manager for Scotch and Reserve Brands.
"Afro Exchange is about celebrating the people shaping culture and creating spaces where music, art and memorable connections come alive. We were delighted by the incredible reception from consumers in Nanyuki and the energy they brought to the experience," Katambo added.
Adding another creative dimension to the event, fast-rising mural artist McBull captivated guests with a live mural showcase, reinforcing Afro Exchange's commitment to celebrating African creativity in all its forms.
The event formed part of Johnnie Walker's National Scotch Day celebrations, commemorated on July 27, and reflected the brand's continued commitment to reimagining how consumers experience Scotch whisky through contemporary culture, premium experiences and meaningful moments of connection.
