This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Two young and extremely talented musicians share their music and passion.

Musical duo ryfe formed in 2011 when living in the village of Ndhiwa, Western Kenya.

Inspired by their experiences and surroundings, they began writing together, and upon their return to NZ they were determined to continue on their musical ventures whilst juggling the art of study. In 2013 they released a self-produced debut EP – Moving Starts.

More recently, ryfe have completed a second EP titled Ang’eyo Nengo, which is a raw live session intended to invoke their experiences in Kenya, with all proceeds going towards the Ndhiwa community. Developing further as budding live performers and passionate creatives, ryfe blend melodic lyrics and harmonic warmth with a hint of soul.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
