The festival brought together the best of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzanian schools music from August 18 to 22.

Kenyan representatives were drawn from the 97th Kenya Music Festival held earlier this month in Meru County.

Music became a language of unity, transcending borders and generations.

It was inspiring to witness learners from different ethnic backgrounds embracing cultural rhythms, tackling contemporary themes such as global warming, and reimagining traditional forms for today's audiences.
