When listening to this album, one is struck immediately by the unique sound. The powerful, resonating nyatiti (a stringed instrument similar to the lyre) and Ogada's reflective, subdued vocals are unlike anything you've ever heard. They're also almost the only things you will hear on this disc, the only embellishment being the occasional light percussion or wind instrument. Ogada sings in his native Kenyan tongue, of the beliefs and traditions of his people. "Go far, see the world, but don't forget where you come from," he intones in the song "Chiro," a sentiment he has obviously taken to heart. There are no pounding rhythms on this record, nothing you can dance to, but it is memorable nonetheless, and makes a strong case for the beauty of restraint. ~ Steve McMullen

Personnel includes: Ayub Ogada (vocals, nyatiti, percussion, flutes).

Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

5 stars A beautiful blend
I heard this version of "Koth Biro" as i watched the constant gardener and i knew i must get this CD...I had never heard my mother tongue (dholuo) sounding so sweet before! And the message in the song blended in so well with the themes of the movie!

4 stars Simple gorgeous music
Heard Ayub as a warm-up act at the Royal Festival Hall in London. He captivated the audience - at the interval the record store in the lobby had the longest queue I've ever seen there and sold out quickly of this album.

Only 4 stars because it doesn't fully convey his charm, humility and humour. One of my top 10 World albums (and I have a lot of them).

Fabulous Wailers CD  (1959)

En Mana Kuoyo CD music
CD $12.59  4.5 stars Top 500
As any quick perusal of old Top 40 rock & roll station playlists will attest, singles were where the shakin' action was, as rock & roll albums were scarce as hen's teeth back in those pre-Beatle days. But when the record companies decided to issue one, it was usually an artifact of high rockin' value and some major influence. Naysayers to the contrary, this debut album by the Northwest's first great rock & roll combo is just such an artifact. The Wailers dispensed crude, greasy, largely instrumental rock & roll music for those who came to shake it up and shake it down, and it's all on fine, rhythmic, open display here. This album is amazing in its own simplistic, nuthin'-special way, its crudity almost palpable. There's only one vocal aboard, Kent Morrill's "Dirty Robber," later covered and torched by the Sonics. Everything else is built on the riff-sturdy bones of their biggest hit, "Tall Cool One." With two guitars, piano, sax, and drums -- no bass player anywhere on here, another crudeness indicator of the times and locale it was recorded in -- all blasting away like they're working a VFW Hall dance, hoof shakers like "Wailin'," "Shanghaied," "Beat Guitar" (featured in the soundtrack of the misguided Jerry Lee Lewis bioflick Great Balls Of Fire), and "Gunnin' For Peter" stand loud and proud as teen hall pre-Beatle rock & roll at its finest. Even more amazing is that the tonal crudity of this recording is enhanced even further on the stereo pressings of this album! Northwest grunge in its original 1950s ...

For a sequel to the highest grossing musical of all time, Grease 2 is content on leaving behind the far-reaching magnitude and quality of the music that songwriters like John Farrar immortalized. As far as casting goes, Grease utilized the innocent appeal and gifted vocals of Olivia Newton-John and profited greatly from that casting ...

En Mana Kuoyo album
CD $7.75  5 stars Audio Samples
"Bocanada" was nominated for the 2000 Latin Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance and Best Rock Song. Although this album was Gustavo Cerati's second solo effort, it was the first one released after Soda Stereo split. After that, he just worked as a part of electronic bands like Plan V and Ocio. This long-awaited album was his return to pop, and in fact he combined his devotion to electronic music with the pop songs that made him famous. A song like "Río Babel" demonstrates this mix, and also the midtempo cadence that dominates the album. There are some beautiful and outstanding songs, like "Bocanada," "Puente," and ...

Born In New Orleans
Paul Soniat Born In New Orleans CD  (2005)

En Mana Kuoyo album
CD $18.99
Born at the old Touro Hospital in New Orleans, Paul Soniat is the son of a North Louisiana school teacher and a New Orleans Frenchman whose family had been in the city since 1727. Paul grew up in Uptown New Orleans on the street that bears his family name. For the past 23 years he has been directing the efforts to turn an old forgotten garden into one of the country's premier Botanical Gardens. A self taught piano player, Paul has absorbed the sights, sounds, and flavor of New Orleans. The CD at first listen is immediately likable. His humor, insight, and ability to capture the essence of his hometown will become evident when you listen to his music. In his title track,"Born in New Orleans", he writes,"couldn't write this song if I wasn't born in New Orleans". Believe me, that's an honest assessment.Although some of his songs were written many years ago, Born in New Orleans is Paul's debut album. He has performed on numerous occasions for family and friends, but gave his first public performance last year. That performance was a tremendous success. So overwhelmed by the positive response, the demand for his CD was created. Thus began the journey to release ...
