From her humble beginnings, learning to play drums by beating plates with a spoon and her chest with her tiny hands to her current status, Kasiva Mutua's extraordinary journey has been a beacon of female empowerment in the music world.

Influenced by her grandmother's folk tales and the sounds of nature, exploring her undying interest in drumming was not easy as the instrument was reserved for men in African culture.

Against all odds, she became a bold cultural custodian and East Africa's leading female percussionist.

Following Kasiva's musical journey, she has been a trailblazer in every sense of the word.
