..asante Elijah..do not forget John Nzeze, Daudi Mukabi, David Amunga, Isaya Mwinamo, among the great Kenyan guitar "pickers". My dad had a gramophone and would play these songs. Just love them.
I visited your webpage and was really curious to find the book of John Low, "History of Kenyan Guitar Music: 1945-1980". Can you tell me if it´s a good and accurate work? I can´t find anywhere...
I have a collection of about 200 gramophone discs (78 rpm) of Luo guitar players from Kenya, I can organize a copy in one or two CD´s and send it for a copy of that book.
Congratulations on your wonderful work. Keep going.
This is just too great., if you have any more african songs or stories about your travels and the musicians you met over there please find some time to share with us again. Living in Scotland I find it hard to get hold of music like this.
Glad to see Elijah on the tube. I enjoyed very much his books and his instructional dvd about Joseph Spence... and he always wear the coolest shirts...
Preciosa cancion Elijah, saludos from the south of Spain!

All great players. I met John Nzenze in Nairobi, and he helped me to get in touch with Fadhili William...
