MOIPEI Brings SING SING SING! to 54 Below This Month

54 BELOW, Broadway’s Supper Club, presents MOIPEI in SING SING SING! on July 10, 2023 at 7pm. This concert was commissioned by the Kennedy Center to close their 2023 RiverRun Festival and performed to standing ovations in this past April. Mary, Maggy, and Marta Moipei of Nairobi, Kenya, sing an eclectic mix of styles illustrating how rivers impact our lives with their beauty, their majesty, and their power.  This lively concert runs the gamut of the American Songbook, Broadway, pop, spirituals, swing and even a spotlight on Kenyan folk songs.  The concert includes favorite songs: Ol’ Man River, Down by the Riverside, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Up a Lazy River, Down to the River to Pray, Proud Mary, The Water is Wide, and many, many more.  

Mary, Maggy and Marta have been singing since a very young age in Kenya. Their arrival in NY a couple of years ago has been met with high praise from critics, fellow performers, musicians and most importantly, audiences.
