Radio Kenya - The Random FM Air Waves floating around Nairobi
You know Americans don't get around very much, at least in person.
This is truly a sad state - seeing how much of an impact "American culture" has upon the globe.
Me - well, although not money rich, I'm rich in living experience in many parts of the world due to "right placement" & timing or should I say a partner & wife who has the ways & knowledge to hustle internationnal gigs from many angles...
An international expat hillbilly musicaneer playing connect-the-dots on a grande scale. So here is one of things Iove to do - record random local radio...
Here's some Nairobi radio from different times in 2006....
Dig these East African guitar boy bands, one-man guitar & benga classics.
