Influences songs from Singing Wells

Group Information

One of the keys objectives of the Singing Wells project is to introduce tribal East African music to a new generation of musicians and fans who might not consider it relevant today.  So, we have developed the Influences series – a fusion of traditional and contemporary styles.

Each time the Singing Wells team embarks on a field recording visit we are joined by a talented musician who works with us on ‘Influences’ songs.  They work with us in the field and also in the Ketebul Music studios in Nairobi to produce this new material.

We believe our Influences series will refresh the origins of East African music and make it discoverable to a new generation of music fans.
