The Yale University Male Choir popularly known as the Whiffenpoofs of Yale, is the world's oldest and best known a cappella group consisting of 14 male seniors selected every year to travel the world performing their music. The Whiffenpoofs repertoire features a diverse selection of songs, ranging from traditional Yale songs and American Spirituals, to original compositions and covers from every decade. The performance will be held on the evening of July 14 at the Braeside High School in Nairobi. Founded in 1909, the Whiffenpoofs began as a senior quartet that met for weekly concerts at Mory's Temple Bar, the famous Yale tavern. For the fifth year running, a famous group of a cappella singers from a prestigious American Ivy League university will be performing in Kenya as part of an annual world tour.
