I'm so glad to read that the band are due to release a new album this year. For those who haven't heard of them, they're a cross-over band with musicians from London and singers from Kenya and combines traditional African music with bang up-to-date techniques and genres to give it a fresh new sound and a wider audience. More power to their elbow!

I've blogged this before but it's so damn good it deserves another play. Play it loud!

I have a serious contender for my album of the year. It's a superb work of art from the first right through to the last track. Best described (by me at least) as Kenyan 'Owiny' music meets psychedelic funk with a splash of techno. This is just one of the tracks but oh my goodness, just how good is this? Seriously....how good is this? Genius.
