Odd Okoddo feat. Ogoya Nengo

electronic rhythms | dodo blues | contemporary folk tradition | luo roots

Hailing from Kenya, the duo of Sven Kacirek and Olith Ratego works with a spellbinding blend of avantgarde electronic rhythms and contemporary folk tradition of the Kenyan Luo people. The result is what singer and instrument builder Olith Ratego calls "dodo blues". New Album "Negore" (Altin Village & Mine, May 2024). On the last days of the Euroean tour, they will bring out the uncrowned queen of Luo music, Ogoya Nengo, who is over 80 years old, for some additional excitement. Ten years ago, Sven Kacirek co-produced two albums with the singer and her female choir, The Dodo Women’s Group.
