  • The musicians, who are also a couple, previously performed at the Israeli Jazz Night Festival and will be performing today at the Safaricom Jazz Festival at the Safaricom Stadium in Kasarani.

Israeli artiste Matan Ephrat and singer Maya Belsitzman have offered to volunteer their time and knowledge in offering online music lessons to Ghetto Classics children in Korogocho, Nairobi.

“It is unbelievable, it is so moving, they are so cute I wanted to cry”, says Ephrat. “They are so musical,” added Maya, “they are amazing, they had so many questions and they want to know the instruments. We can do online lessons from Tel Aviv via Skype.

It doesn’t take anything from me, all they need is my attention.”
