The Nubian Sabala Festival is coming back on December 24 at the KICC. The Sabala Festival was previously held annually in both Kenya and Uganda since 2006.

The festival celebrates Nubian culture, food and attire. It will feature music performances from various Nubians bands across East Africa.

Grandpa Dynamics CEO Yusuf Noah said the festival was on a break due to the global pandemic.

After a vigorous effort in finding this year's Sabala Festival ambassador, the committee settled on Ms Amisa Ibrahim as the face of the event after conducting more than 300 interviews.

Her knowledge of the Nubian culture and history together with her eloquence made her stand out among the other contestants.

The event is organised by the Nubian Nation and Noah's Grandpa Dynamics.

This year's festival will graced by top politicians and different band around the world.

In 2019, while attending the Nubian Cultural festival, Nairobi women Rep Esther Passaris said;

"To be embraced by my sisters from the Nubian Community yesterday and to wear their traditional garb on the occasion of the Annual Nubian Festival was an immersive cultural experience I'll cherish for a long time."

Passaris added;

"I am working together with other MPs and Civil Society to effectively address the challenges faced by the Nubian Community in Kenya and other "stateless" citizens who live on the fringes of society because the State does not recognize them as Kenyans."

In attendance was former Statehouse spokes person Kanze Dena.
