		<description><![CDATA[Benn loxo reader and contributor, Fabián, comes through again with some great music by Congolese musicians living in Kenya during the 1970s.  I&#8217;ve also included a few tracks from my own collection to beef-up the post.
I love reading the stories about how all these bands and the personalities behind them are connected.  This [...]]]></description>

Kenge Kenge play traditional music from Kenya&#8217;s Luo ethnic group mixed with a heavy dose of benga and contemporary African sounds [...]]]></description>

You can catch Boima on tour in Europe with Spearhead at the moment.  I&#8217;ll be posting something off his latest release, a Sierra Leone hip-hop mix, later this week.   In [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today we&#8217;ll hear some more good Kenyan music from the Orchard re-release collection on eMusic.  This time it&#8217;s a little later, a mid-70s recording by Kenyan rumba star, Habel Kifoto.
Initially a member of the famous &#8220;military band&#8221;, Maroon Commandos, Habel Kifoto released a bunch of solo tracks as well.  Benn loxo friend, Steve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[eMusic has a surprisingly great collection of early Kenyan recordings, thanks in large part to the Orchard re-releases of music belonging to the Music Copyright Society of Kenya.  You heard some already in that ever-popular post about Juma Muhina about a month back.
eMusic has always positioned itself as a spot for young, DRM-unfriendly listeners [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Almost a year ago Benn loxo listener, Tim, sent me a guest post.  It got buried in a heap of e-mail and only re-surfaced the other day:
&#8220;You may know Mbaraka Mwinshehe&#8217;s music already. A Tanzanian, he was one of East Africa&#8217;s most popular musicians of the 1970s, first with the Morogoro Jazz Band and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just enough time for a quick post today from a 1999 African funk music compilation that I re-found recently.
Today&#8217;s tracks are a funky reminder that afrobeat and its derivatives weren&#8217;t just an anglo-West African phenomenon.  Great bands like Mombasa, Matata and others rocked the Kenyan soul and funk scene during the 1960s and 1970s.

If you know Arthur Russell, your first reaction might be that Kenyan Swahili rumba doesn&#8217;t have much to do with early disco pioneers.  But [...]]]></description>
