Today’s show featured guest Doug Paterson, an aficionado of Kenyan music, who has seen Kenyan music evolve over much time spent in Kenya over the past few decades. Surprisingly, Kenyan music is not very well known outside of Kenya, and the selections from the Rough Guide Doug compiled gives little indication why, there is a lot of terrific music in Kenya.
