Apr. 26- We move south to Kenya to take in the rich musical heritage of both the coastal Arabic culture and the tribal affiliations of the central (Kikuyu) and western (Luo) parts of the country. Delicate and ancient harps like the nyatiti and powerful drums and guitars (which have been popular in Kenya for a very long time) fill the clubs of Nairobi, with strong influences from neighboring Congo. New music from all over the world to finish the show as usual.
