Both seasoned singers and guitar players, they together form Volcano Band and mostly perform locally for social gatherings, sometimes by themselves, sometimes with other singers and musicians from the village. As members of the Luhya tribe, they play a special style of Kenya&#8217;s famous Benga music called Omutibo, which is characterized by its guitar-picking style. Although musically influenced by secular genres, their lyrics are often concerned with spiritual messages and faith, bridging the divine with blessings they find in everyday life. A true glimpse into Kenya&#8217;s popular music of the 20th\u00a0century, through a simple, rural and folky lens! This two-track release is part of Music From East Africa&#8217;s &#8222;Field Recordings from Western Kenya&#8220; series.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\">Music live performed and recorded in western Kenya, by<br \/>\nZechariah Adika (Guitar\/ Vocals)<br \/>\nHilium Indiazi (Guitar\/ Vocals)<\/div>\n<div class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\">Produced &amp;
