DJ Shadow goes to Africa with Oxfam

DJ Shadow travelled to Kenya in April with Oxfam to see how the money is spent. You can see his visit to YIKA (Youth Initiatives Kenya Association), one of Oxfam's partner organisations in the Babdogo Slum in Nairobi. He also gets inspired by the diversity and quality of the showcase of local talent when he visits a community centre in the area.

Then watch exclusive footage of an Oxjam set he performs in Kariobangi. And of course the film winds up with the necessary crate digging in a record shop. In Kenya, DJ Shadow finds both a wealth of musical rarities and a wealth of inspiration about how music can be used to help end poverty.

The wealth of his record collection could probably feed all of Kenya for 20 years.

In this case, he did "go to Africa" in the sense of an American musician going to a completely new culture, region and way of life. People "go to Europe" and people "go to Asia". These are distinct regions, but for sake of argument, i think you can allow some colloquialisms when it comes to the IDEA of how countries like UK, USA and Australia can help "Africa". As a region, it shares similar problems and we really can help!
