En Mana Kuoyo

Released

The beautiful En Mana Kuoyo includes almost nothing more than Ayub Ogada’s unique voice and the delicate sounds of his nyatiti, the eight stringed hand held lyre from Western Kenya. The Kenyan musician sings in Dholuo about the traditions and everyday life of the Luo people, intoning mellifluous, hypnotic melodies that are as profound as they are simple. A quiet, powerful record.
