Friends Vihiga High School perform during the Kenya Music Festival Gala on August 12, 2026. [Mike Kihaki, Standard]
Learners have turned to gospel music, sacred folk songs and Taarab to confront moral decay in society, using the festival stage to remind Kenyans of the values of faith, humility, unity, compassion and responsible living.
Through powerful performances, the learners demonstrated that music is not merely entertainment but a tool for shaping character and addressing social challenges.
At a time when society continues to grapple with dishonesty, selfishness, intolerance and declining respect for others, the performances offered faith and moral values as possible pathways to renewal.
