 En Mana Kuoyo - Ayub Ogada
 En Mana Kuoyo - Ayub Ogada ... in England, Ayub Ogada was a member of the Luo tribe from a wedge of northern Kenya pinched between Uganda and Tanzania. Ogada's music is based on repetitious patterns plucked on the nyatiti, a stringed instrument reminiscent of the lyre. On En Mana Kuoyo (meaning "just sand"), he sings mellifluous, almost hypnotic, and yet ultimately lackadaisical melodies concerning home, his instrument, the weather, and injustice. By way of attempting a subtle fusion of African and European (not to mention urban and rural) styles, Ogada is accompanied by a small ensemble that adds surprisingly little to almost too-pretty songs more alike than not. --Richard GehrNewest Review: ... sound track from the program but didn't like it all and actually sold it on ebay!

I think it is the only album he made (16 years ago!). I have looked everywhere for another album but cannot find one which is a shame as I would buy ALL his albums.

If you like world/african music then this album is for you! There is not one track on the album that you will dislike, its just so easy listening and completely relax's you after a hard days work. We bought it after hearing one of the tracks ('Kothbiro') on the Ewan McGregors The Long Way Round program. We also bought the sound track from the program but didn't like it all and actually sold it on ebay! This album, though, is just very very very entrancing.
