From Kenya with Love...

                           
Once in a while, in music just as in politics, a phenomenon comes along that makes us take notice.I am a self-confessed pedestrian observer of the music scene in my homeland Kenya and i think thats precisely why people should take notice when i say that Suzanne Owiyo is one of the best entertainers to come along in a while.I can't really put a finger on her musical genre other than to say that she is an immensely talented composer and a literary genius.Its indeed hard to compare her with any one of the contemporary musicians on the international stage; I would love to make a bold statement at this point; Suzanne Owiyo is the best thing that has happened to Kenyan folk music yet...I wish she could compose some tune with one of my favorites,Alicia Keys. I am looking forward to that tune...now for Suzanne Owino..enjoy..
