And the new home for Country Music is ...

Post by Wesley Parish »

My local newspaper, the New Zealand Herald, contained an article today on Kenya, the African home of Country Music: they took it from France24, because it's the same article.

I met some Kenyans in Christchurch when I was going to the University of Canterbury, and some Tanzanians as well. They struck me as being full of life.

Jambo, Kenya! Let's dance!

It would be nice if one of the articles had some musical examples of country music coming out of Kenya.
