About the Show
Feb. 17, 2024
Mary, Maggy and Marta Moipei are identical triplets from Kenya. They present a program that is as unique as their talents. They interpret some well-known selections from the American Songbook and dazzle with their illuminating take on Broadway. Throw in a dash of Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman to swing, a Spiritual or two and some well known pop songs. They create their own vocal arrangements. Moipei recently performed at the Kennedy Center and have been recognized by the President of Kenya for their contribution to the music industry and the nation of Kenya.
