Album Review
West Bridge Band, The – “Kibera Esbera (Kenya)” – [Electric Cowbell]
Hemroid The Leader 5/15/2018 12-inch, International
This 4-piece consists of Luhya tribesmen from Kenya on a mixture of homemade and more traditional Kenyan instruments. These instruments live with 2 million others in the Kibera slum outside Nairobi. They live in crushing, impossibly cramped poverty. Their dayjob is entertaining safari tourists, swapping clothes on the break to appear like a new band- this album was recorded by Ian Brennan in a family’s home the size of a car interior.
