Allan × Cynthia dancing to Café by Denzu Woston, a heartfelt homage to the immortal Franco Luambo Makiadi. 🎶

While many know Café through Franco Luambo Makiadi’s legendary Congolese rumba released in 1967, the title had already appeared three years earlier in a Latin classic by Eddie Palmieri and Ismael Quintana.

This version by Denzu Woston pays homage to Franco’s timeless masterpiece, reminding us how music connects continents, cultures, and generations.

We asked Nairobi’s dancers a very important question…

“How many people have you dated in the dance scene?” 👀😂

Well… not exactly. 😭

Watch till the end for the question we actually asked. 💃🏿🕺🏿

You don’t need to have rhythm. You don’t need to be “a dancer.” And you definitely don’t need to get it right on the first try.

You just need to start.

Your Kizomba journey starts with one step. Trust the process, enjoy the journey, and keep going. ❤️

Ready to start? Sign up for our Kizomba classes or join us every Thursday at Artcaffé Britam Tower from 6:30PM for a FREE Kizomba taster class.

Come as you are. Leave dancing. 🕺🏾💃🏾

Chatty cab driver? There’s a playlist for that. 🚕🏾🎶

NDP Weekly Picks #004 — Ghettozouk.

Under the Kizomba umbrella, Ghettozouk is the smoother, more urban cousin, where Zouk meets R&B, Afro-pop, electronic production and Lusophone romance. The kind of sound that somehow makes a 20-minute ride feel like a whole situation. 😂

From Nelson Freitas, Kaysha, C4 Pedro, Chelsea Dinorath, Tamyris Moiane and more, this is the sound behind a particular kind of Kizomba mood.

So whether your cab driver has decided you’re now best friends, or you’re just staring out the window pretending you’re in a music video…

There’s a playlist for that.

🇭🇹➡️🇰🇪 NDP Weekly Picks #003 | The Rise of Kenyan Konpa

Music travels. Culture evolves. Dance brings it all together.

Before Konpa found its way onto Kenya’s charts, it had already found a home on our dance floors.

For years, dancers within Kenya’s Kizomba and Afro-Latin communities were introducing Konpa alongside Salsa, Bachata and Kizomba, creating a space where people could connect with the music long before it became a mainstream sound.

Today, a new wave of Kenyan artists is embracing the unmistakable groove of Haitian Konpa and giving it a local identity. From smooth guitars and infectious basslines to Kiswahili, Sheng and contemporary Kenyan storytelling, these songs prove that music can honour its roots while growing into something uniquely its own.

This week’s playlist celebrates the artists shaping what we’re calling Kenyan Konpa, not as a replacement for Haitian Konpa, but as an appreciation of its influence and a celebration of how Kenyan musicians are interpreting the genre through their own creative lens.

This playlist is your introduction to one of the most exciting musical conversations happening in Kenya today.

🎧 NDP Weekly Picks #003 – Kenyan Konpa Playlist

Because at NDP, we don’t just dance to the music.

We explore where it comes from, celebrate how it evolves, and move with the cultures that shape it.
