    Poetry is not new in Africa. Nor is music. It is their combination that is now conquering Nairobi people's hearts. It's a new art that is being created.

    The new genre that is attracting both young and old poets and singers of both genders is also using satire and comedy.

    Nice video. And what about the talking drums of Africa. Diffrent communities in Africa have special ways to make music. The famous Akamba drums, the Luyah have the ishikuti, that is made of the Litungu-a wooden bamboo stick tied with ropes. Luo have the Nyatiti.

    This kind of musical talking drums can be found at the Bomas of Kenya.

    Can music unite people in Kenya and can maybe what people find common in make the united?

    l miss the journey through the musical land.

    Great VIDEO Mr. Munene
