Fresh, lively Luo roots music from Kenya. Instruments are orutu (fiddle), nyangile (gong), percussion, horn, flute, vocals. It’s high-energy music with a strong, pulsing beat and a sweet, joyful sound. *1. Upbeat, catchy, totally infectious. A great intro to their sound. 2. Ululating fiddle, sweet percussion, vox. Upbeat & driving. *3. Fast perc, fun vox. An upbeat and catchy dance. 4. Scratchy fiddle, call-response vox. Mid/upbeat. *5. Upbeat w/good percussion/fiddle/vox. 6. Mid/uptempo call-response vox, tripping perc. *7. A capella intro then a lively, upbeat perc/fiddle jam. 8. A capella intro mostly midtempo & driving. | ||
