Ephraim Manana Snr, Culture & Experiential Marketing Manager, Jägermeister, said the move was an “exciting milestone”.
“As a Culture Brand, bringing Haus of Kühl to Nairobi for the first time is an exciting milestone for us because Nairobi is a city with such a powerful and constantly evolving creative pulse. We wanted to create an experience that goes beyond music and brings together the many different worlds that make culture what it is.”
He also added that he hoped attendees and creatives would experience something unexpected.
“Haus of Kühl is about creating a space where these worlds can collide for established and emerging creatives to share the same platform, inviting audiences to explore, participate and experience something unexpected,” he said. “We’re incredibly excited to bring this experience to Kenya and to celebrate the talent, energy and cultural diversity that make Nairobi such an important creative city in Africa. And of course have a shot while doing it!”
