Ma3  (Maa-Three) is a 6-piece, quirky Afro Pop band from Nairobi that borrows its name from the inescapable public transport mini-vans that dot cities in Kenya and all over Africa. In the two short years that  Ma3  has been in existence, the band has headlined two of the biggest festivals to grace Nairobi, i.e. the  Spread the Love Festival  with  Kirk Franklin  and  Nairobi Kinanda Arts Festival featuring F reshly Ground ,  Kwani LitFest  and  Shukas N Juice Concert . Ma3 ’s  sound is that of young, contemporary, urban Africa; mixing soulful English /Swahili lyrics with spell binding guitar riffs built on a solid rhythm section.  Ma3 ’s music is definitely up your alley.
