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).

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).
