Furaha Wenye Gita

An almost mythical giant of African guitar, whose reinvention of acoustic finger style quickly spread from western Kenya throughout East Africa, before his tragic death in 1963. Spellbinding guitar lines, sweet harmony vocals, every melody an instant classic, and a life story steeped in legend. 12 song LP comes packaged in a deluxe spot-color jacket, with a 12-page full color booklet featuring an oral history by Mukabi's family and peers, and lyrics in English and Swahili. Co-released by Raw Music International and Olvido Records. (Previously deleted: 9/1/20. Original release date: 12/22/17)
