The Kenyan Boys Choir, brought to worldwide fame after performing at President Barack Obama’s inauguration in November 2008, constitutes of 24 choir boys formed in Nairobi in 1998.

The boys, aged between 14 and 25, were personally selected by the choir’s visionary founder and conductor Joseph Muyale Inzai. The story behind the Kenyan Boys Choir is inspirational, with Joseph Muyale Inzai having given up his job in order to run the choir in the hope that this would give the boys a better start in life than he himself had.

Following their performance at President Obama’s inauguration, the Choir were signed by Universal Music and in June 2009 released their critically acclaimed first album; ‘The Spirit of Africa’ which was one of the feel-good albums of the year. The choir has a wide-ranging repertoire comprising a variety of popular chants and songs from across Africa with hope and option. When in live performance, the Kenyan Boys Choir dress in tribal costumes and perform choreographed dance routines – all of which adds to the freshness and vitality of this extraordinarily talented group of young men.
