Abstract: The last two decades has seen much discussion of language endangerment - much less has been said about endangered music. This talk is a broad introduction to the music of the Luo, Gusii, and Kuria peoples of southern Kenya. Including field recordings throughout, it is meant to exhibit the richness and complexity of three distinct musical traditions of East Africa.
