Title: Kenya special, volume 2
Description: Kenya Special was one of Soundway Records' most popular releases and is considered a milestone in East African compilations. Soundway is now proud to present 'Kenya Special : Volume Two'. This time the team of compilers have gone to even greater lengths to share a small part of what is slowly being accepted as an essential element of East Africa's cultural heritage: the history of recorded popular music. The featured songs on Kenya Special : Volume Two bend the rules, break away from existing genres and sometimes experiment with foreign music trends. The approach to musical rediscovery behind Kenya Special : Volume Two has its origins in a youthful movement of vinyl collecting as well as, to some extent, club culture.
