Inspired by a set of songs, this project sought to merge the ideas of what or rather how Nairobi was in our eyes at the time. From relationships to gang affiliations, the emergence of Gengetone and other catalysts.
KANAIRO
Sheng': Nairobi
Sheng' is a language Kenyans created mixing most of our spoken language into one pot. Effectively mixing English and Swahili along with words from French, Spanish, Italian or anything we come across that resonates with us.
We also extensively use our own traditional languages picking
from upto 47 tribes and dielects.
