KeruBo 

KeruBo is a performing Afro-Jazz artist, originally from Kenya  who now lives in the Burlington area. 

She has more than 20 years’ experience performing all over the  world in music festivals. Her style of music is a blend of  African Traditional Music, with inflections of Brazilian Samba/ Bossanova, Jazz, and Blues.  

KeruBo sings African folk music and Afro jazz, from African  laments to more modern arrangements. Her influences are from  generations of music artists and songwriters but more  particularly – Achien’g Abura, Miriam Makeba, Dorothy Masuka and  Nina Simon. She feels that these notable, strong-minded, female  singers effectively used their music as a powerful medium to  bring awareness to social issues and to rebuke social injustices.  They sang candidly about issues without worrying about  consequences. 

KeruBo’s music is about preserving African culture and heritage,  while highlighting social issues affecting vulnerable minorities  such as women and children. Ms. KeruBo is a member of the Windows to A Multicultural World Teaching Artist Team at the Clemmons Family Farm.
