Hermosa Paints has partnered with the Kamba Festival as the Main Sponsor, reaffirming its commitment to supporting young people, cultural expression and creative opportunity.
The partnership seeks to bring together culture and corporate support through a platform that celebrates Kamba heritage, talent and community. It also comes at a time when young people are increasingly using creativity, technology and entrepreneurship to redefine how culture is experienced, expressed and shared.
Through the partnership, the Kamba Festival will provide a platform for the celebration of Kamba heritage through music, dance, art, fashion, food, entertainment and other forms of cultural expression. The event will bring together artists, entrepreneurs, creatives, audiences and members of the community to celebrate identity, talent and shared heritage.
Speaking ahead of the festival, Nancy Kang’anya,PR Manager Hermosa Paints said the partnership reflects Hermosa Paints’ belief in the important role young people play in shaping the future of culture and creativity.
“Culture gives us identity, while creativity gives young people a voice. At Hermosa Paints, we believe young people should not only inherit culture but also have the opportunity to shape how it evolves. Our partnership with the Kamba Festival allows us to celebrate that creativity while supporting a platform that brings communities together,” she said.
The partnership also recognises the role of cultural festivals in supporting Kenya’s wider creative economy. Such events create opportunities for young people working across various disciplines, including music, photography, videography, fashion, design, content creation, food and event production.
“When young people have platforms to showcase their skills, build networks and connect with audiences, creativity can become a pathway to opportunity. We want to support an environment where young people can take pride in their heritage while finding new ways to express themselves and build their futures,” added Nancy Kang’anya.
The partnership reflects the natural connection between Hermosa Paints and creative expression. As a paint and coatings brand, Hermosa Paints understands the transformative power of colour and its ability to shape spaces, communicate identity and inspire creativity.
Through its involvement in the festival, the company seeks to extend that philosophy beyond physical spaces by supporting a cultural platform that gives people an opportunity to express who they are and celebrate where they come from.
The festival comes at a time when younger generations are finding new ways to engage with traditional culture through social media, contemporary music, fashion, digital storytelling, art and entrepreneurship.
Hermosa Paints believes this evolution is important in ensuring that cultural heritage remains relevant, accessible and meaningful to future generations. Rather than viewing tradition and modernity as opposing forces, the company believes young people can draw inspiration from their heritage while creating new expressions that resonate with contemporary audiences.
As the Main Sponsor, Hermosa Paints will support the Kamba Festival as it brings together the community to celebrate Kamba identity, creativity and talent.
The partnership reinforces Hermosa Paints’ commitment to building meaningful connections with communities and supporting platforms that create space for creativity, participation and shared experiences.
