Our Take

If Pitchfork reviewed "New Recordings From Siaya County" by OGOYA NENGO AND THE DODO WOMENS GROUP, it might go a little something like this:

In a world of auto-tuned pop divas and cookie-cutter boy bands, OGOYA NENGO AND THE DODO WOMENS GROUP are a breath of fresh air. Hailing from Siaya County in Kenya, this musical collective brings a unique sound that is both traditional and innovative.

The album opens with infectious rhythms and soulful vocals that transport the listener to the heart of Africa. Tracks like "Nyiero" and "Ngero" showcase the group's incredible harmonies and intricate percussion work.

But what truly sets OGOYA NENGO AND THE DODO WOMENS GROUP apart is their ability to blend traditional folk music with modern influences. Songs like "Nyiero" and "Moko Mbwana" incorporate elements of jazz and funk, creating a sound that is truly one-of-a-kind.

Overall, "New Recordings From Siaya County" is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates music that pushes boundaries and transcends genres. OGOYA NENGO AND THE DODO WOMENS GROUP have created a masterpiece that will stand the test of time. Don't sleep on this album, it's a true gem in the world of music. So grab your headphones, press play, and let yourself be transported to the vibrant sounds of Kenya.
