Jaw-dropping recordings of contemporary 80's songs from Kenya on the excellent Contemporary African Music Series from US publisher Original Music. Really not sure where or how these recordings are sourced - real strong Indian / Arabic influence permeates each recording.  Proper eye-opener, very special!  (NM/NM)
