the app
the watu wako web app brings nairobi's events together — sorted by iko, carrying the score, filterable by day, price and neighbourhood. from the saturday market to the friday set, plan your week in one place.
be first in when the app opens. we'll email you an invite — no spam, just the launch.
already out? join the whatsapp community for scores in the meantime.
the method
we attend as regular guests. no special treatment, no heads up, no back door.
we rate against the published 18 category rubric, the same measure for every event.
we award one to five roses, and we tell you plainly whether it is worth your time.
the score is never for sale.
