		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s really popular to be a gospel artist in Kenya these days; where you&#8217;d normally have heard gangster rap or crunk music coming from Nairobi matatus, now it&#8217;s not uncommon to hear songs praising Mungu (God). I have never liked gospel, but some of these tunes honestly sound like something a DJ would spin at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A great song by one of Kenya&#8217;s better-known artists, Jua Cali. I&#8217;m not sure why I never heard it until now because it&#8217;s been out since late 2008. Anyways, it&#8217;s Jua Cali and Enika (apparently she&#8217;s from Tanzania). It&#8217;s a nice break from all the &#8220;I&#8217;m a thug&#8221; and &#8220;get money and bitches&#8221; music that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Living in Kenya is hilarious; I&#8217;ve learned more about rap during my last two years living in Kenya than when I lived in the United States. Maybe it&#8217;s because I always listened to metal music, but there is no missing the influence of American rap on Kenyan culture (Nairobi especially). You&#8217;ve seen the matatus, right?

This month is Kenya, and some women in human resources said they want me to be the DJ. Oh dear, what have I gotten myself into?

		<description><![CDATA[You can always see what I&#8217;ve been listening to on Last.fm (my music player logs everything there), but sometimes I am surprised how the numbers add up. Most of it shouldn&#8217;t be a shock (metal), but there&#8217;s actually a lot of rap/hip-hop from the US as well as East Africa. We always hear matatus blaring [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m not sure if there is any local rock yet, but I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s on the way. I&#8217;ve really come to appreciate Nairobi, though I don&#8217;t always [...]]]></description>

As far as I can tell Kenya&#8217;s music scene is a bit more intense than the other countries in the region. Tanzania&#8217;s stuff is less abrasive, a genre they call &#8220;bongo [...]]]></description>
