Kikuyu Love Sessions returned this Mother’s Day with Mothers & Melodies: Chapter Two, a warm cultural gathering that brought together music, family, memory, and the women who continue to hold communities together.
Held on Sunday, 10 May 2026, in Tigoni, the event ran from midday into the evening, creating a full-day experience for families, music lovers, vendors, and culture enthusiasts. Nairobi Events Guide listed the event under cultural shows and festivals, with the programme running from 12 PM to 9 PM.
This second chapter built on the heart of the first edition: celebrating mothers not only as caregivers, but as women with stories, rhythm, youthfulness, dreams, and joy of their own. Kikuyu Love Sessions described the edition as a celebration of “that girl still living inside her” — the one who still wants to dance, feel, and be seen.
From the photos, the day carried more than just a concert atmosphere. It felt like a cultural homecoming. There were live performances, Kikuyu music, stage moments, vendor stands, and heritage-centred storytelling. The presence of books such as Gũcũgia Mwana and Itara added a powerful literary and cultural layer to the event, reminding guests that preserving identity is not only done through song, but also through stories passed from one generation to the next.
