5.0 out of 5 stars An Essential Kenyan Music Collection, July 19, 2001

Jambo (Hello)

Anyone who has lived or visited Kenya has definately heard all these songs while there. These are an essential part of the Kenya experience. The collection is well chosen and the product is of very high quality. I would recommend this CD for any avid fan of African music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Malaika Nakupenda, June 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

I remember this song as a young girl growing up. There are very many different versions to this song. So far, this is my favorite version.It always reminds me of my parents and other relatives slow dancing to this song, and I would always wonder why this song. But as I grew up I got to understand the words and appreciate them. Safari Sound can really, really sing. All those songs always send me back to Kenya. The music is very clear and I therefore was able to introduce it to my American friends who don't understand Swahili, but yet enjoy the music and the beat. The music is quite relaxing! If you don't have the cd, TODAY is the day to get it and you'll most definately enjoy every song.

This is a great album. You will enjoy it! The words are clear and the music is very well done. Everyone who hears it asks me to get them a copy the next time I am in Kenya.
