SARABI was formed in 2005 and has in the recent years proved to be one of the most promising Afro Fusion Band in Kenya. The group is made up of 7 young men and a young lady, all hailing from the Eastlands slums of Nairobi. All the members started playing music at an early age of 11 yrs and have over the years worked together to create one of the most solid bands in the Kenyan Music Scene. Their music, made up of heavy traditional Kenyan rythms, Benga and a blend of Western sounds has proved to be the missing link in the Afro-fusion genre of music. A feature on Drum Magazine in Oct 2007 declared the band as the next force in Kenyan music.
