Day one of the 2026 National Kenya Music Festival has set stage for learners to showcase artistic excellence, demonstrate leadership, confidence and teamwork through music and dance.
This is as more than 140,000 learners from all 47 counties converged for the annual festival in a two weeks-long competition got underway at Kibabii University in Bungoma.
Performances by kindergarten and junior primary learners across 14 performance halls opened the floor, nurturing communication, responsibility and leadership skills among young performers.
