Afro Groove Band — Live band for weddings, galas and parties
About Afro Groove Band
Afro Groove Band is based in Nairobi and has 4 years of experience with weddings, galas and corporate events. A five- to eight-piece band that moves from soft jazz at the cocktail to highlife, rumba and afrobeats on the dance floor, with its own sound engineer and a set list built with you.
Every booking starts with a call about your date, your guests and your budget, and a written, itemised quote follows within 48 hours. Prices start from 120,000 KES.
We work in English. Popular dates go months ahead, so it is worth asking early; sending a request is free.

Reviews★ 4.80 · 9 reviews
On time, well organised and genuinely kind with our families.
Exactly what we asked for, and a few touches we had not thought of.
Calm, reliable and easy to reach the whole week before the event.
Booked them for our company gala and will book again next year.
