Nyokabi Kariũki

⁠Nyokabi Kariũki is a Kenyan composer, sound artist, and artistic researcher. Her sonic imagination is ever-evolving, spanning across various genres from classical contemporary to experimental electronic music, explorations in sound art, pop, film, (East) African musical traditions and more. She performs with the piano, voice, electronics, and on several instruments from the African continent — particularly on kalimbas and the mbira. 

She seeks to create meaningful and challenging art, illuminated by a commitment to the preservation and reflection on African thought, language and stories. With Bandcamp seeing her as “becoming a crucial voice in contemporary composition and experimental music” we are happy to welcome her in Vienna for the world premiere of her new piece – her only solo live performance in 2025. 

Further on she will host a body percussion workshop together with Alex Hofmann (MdW).
