Yesterday, we wrapped up our final The Singing Wells field recording session in Nairobi with Papillon Musa (Martin Murimi), a creative contemporary Nyatiti artist. He was accompanied by Paul Shiundu and Mambo Nziva, and together they delivered a thoughtful and engaging session.

The Ketebul Music team is now in post-production, and the recordings will be available soon on our online platforms. Thank you for following the journey.

During our Singing Wells field recording in Siaya County, the Ketebul Music team set aside a quiet moment to visit the resting place of the former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. Led by our founding director Tabu Osusa, the visit became one of the most touching moments of the trip.
WINYO of Ketebul Music stood by the graveside and performed a moving tribute song “loo okao” he had composed in honour of the late leader. His voice carried a sense of gratitude, respect and deep reflection. For all of us present, it was a powerful reminder of the role music plays in preserving memory and paying homage to those who shaped our nation.
We were also joined by the Benga musician Otieno Small.
The legacy of the Right Honorable Raila Odinga will always stay with us.

We mourn the passing of Rt.Hon. Raila Odinga. His passion, courage, and deep connection to the people left an indelible mark on modern Kenya. It will never be forgotten.
Just as his love for the people was expressed through his activism, Raila’s love for music was remarkable. He was a lover of Kenyan classics - Swahili rumba, African twist and benga.
From all of us at Ketebul Music, Kenya has lost one of its greatest sons.
May he rest in peace.

In 2009, Anya...
