Ayub Ogada is a musician from Kenya. He performs on the traditional east African stringed instrument, the nyatiti and is a highly accomplished djembe player. Ogada is one of the Luo people of Western Kenya. He was born in Mombasa.
Ogada was approached and asked to play at Peter Gabriel's WOMAD festival. In 1993, he was invited to Gabriel's Realworld Studios, where he recorded his first album, En Mane Kuoyo (Just Sand). He continues to tour extensively with WOMAD.
Ogada co-founded the African Heritage Band in 1979 and played kit drums, bass and percussion for many years before departing for London, England, where he initially occasionally busked London streets, singing accompianied by Nyatiti and leg rattle or ankle bells.
