Karibuni Kenya

Again I am grouping two posts together.

The first artist is Alpha Blondy.  This is someone I’ve not heard of before coming out to Africa on this trip, but whose music I have greatly enjoyed.  Much of it is is french, although some is in english, but whichever language it is in it sounds fantastic.  ALso he has done a french version of Bob Marleys ‘War’.  AMong his other songs is superpowers, goree senegal and apartheid is nazsism.  Many have a strong message, although even when in french and I can’t undersatand a word of the message I enjoy the music, and hop[e you will too.

The next artist is Papa Wemba.  I don’t like all of his music, but there is one song in particvular I loove, ’show me the way’ and m,any others which are most enjoyable as well.  He has also partnered with several other artists on different songs, and in my opinion these tend to be the best.  Again I have only heard this music for the first time on this trip so don’t know muych about the background, but with the internet being what it is these days, I’m sure it’s not too difficult to find his music somewhere.
