The Nairobi Horns Project (NHP) is a musicians’ collective bringing together musicians bonded by the love for new music and committedto building a sound around horns in African and contemporary music. Our sound is influenced by our love for Jazz, African rhythms, Contemporary, Hip Hop and Electronic music. What was conceived as a three-member commercial for-hire horn section whose members have worked on music TV shows, concerts, recordings and tours has since grown to include a five-member supporting band.

In December 2016 Nairobi Horns Project released their first self produced body of works, an EP titled Kipepeo (Swahili for butterfly) entirely comprised original works; now available on iTunes, Spotify and other online platforms. In addition, NHP is still working on original musical works as well a music remake project called Modern Kenyan Classics; our own interpretation of contemporary Kenyan music.

Since their first performance in August 2016, they have have gone on to do the following:The opening for Hugh Masekela at the Safaricom Jazz lounge in August 2016 in Nairobi
