“Beautiful, harmonious voices that brought me to tears, their vocal blend is like I have never heard before … WOW!”
– Stephen Schwartz
“They have become as iconic as Kenya’s sportsmen and women but for a different kind of muscle … their vocal cords.” NATION TV KENYA
Direct from the Kennedy Center where they received standing ovations for their performances in the internationally acclaimed RiverRun Festival! Mary, Maggy, and Marta Moipei are identical triplets from Kenya, who present a program that is as unique as their talents. This concert was commissioned by the Kennedy Center to illustrate how rivers impact our lives with their beauty, their majesty, and their power. This entertaining concert employs several musical genres, with Broadway classics, jazz standards, pop hits, spirituals, and popular Kenyan folk songs. Audiences can expect to hear everything from “Corner of the Sky” to “Sing Sing Sing” to “Down by the Riverside” to “Safari ya Bamba” and more.
MOIPEI made their NYC debut at the 2021 Cabaret Convention, and the Mabel Mercer Foundation bestowed the Julie Wilson Award on them the next year.
At the age of 12, they were appointed Kenya’s first ever UNICEF Child Ambassadors. Through their musical talents, they championed female/child empowerment, education, and alternative rites of passage. The sisters have performed sold-out concerts internationally, presenting an eclectic mix of their own arrangements of Broadway tunes, jazz hits, sacred pieces and Kenyan folk songs. They were recognized by Kenya’s president for their contribution to the music industry and the nation.
The exceptional talents of these three sisters are guaranteed to warm your heart and put a smile on your face! Music direction by Joseph Thalken. Written and directed by Matthew Inge.
