English and Swahili are both the official languages of Kenya . Whittaker was born in Nairobi and with this song gives an homage to his country which is Kenya !!! even if it's in English !!
Sorry but this song isn't

The country-music bass, sappy big-bands strings, jazz drums, folksy whistling, and country-music melody, lyrics, and singing style are all extremely un-African. If this is supposed to be music about Kenya, why not use Kenyan musical style (melodies, rhythm, instruments)? And sing it in Swahili? Otherwise, it's not a Kenya song; it's a USA country music song. You could change the word "Kenya" to "Tennessee" and no one would know the difference; in fact it would actually make more sense. C.

Absolutely divine!! My land is Zimbabwe, but whether it be Kenya, Zimbabwe or anywhere else in that continent, it´s home - it´s free, it´s beautiful and rich. Thank you for posting this song, it made me feel homesick, but in a good way.
