Review by Abdul Hameed Kath

Alright, let’s dive into this gem of an album: Anyango Nya Japuonj by L'Orch DO 7 Shirati Jazz. If you’re a fan of raw, unfiltered African folk vibes with that Kenyan twist, this one’s for you. It’s like stepping into a village party where everyone knows the moves and the stories behind the songs. The album kicks off with two tracks—Anyango Nya Japuonj Pt. 1 and Pt. 2. Yeah, they split it up, but trust me, both parts hit different yet equally satisfying notes. Let’s talk about Pt. 1 first. This track is straight fire—it grabs you by the soul and doesn’t let go. The rhythm? So smooth, so hypnotic, it’s almost like the drums are having a conversation with the guitar. You can tell Mw. D.O. Misiani poured his heart into writing this. The lyrics feel personal, like he’s telling you a story over a cold Tusker on a hot day. And F. Jakomo (G.A.)? Dude knew exactly how to produce something that feels alive, not overdone. Now, onto Pt. 2. If Pt. 1 is the intro, this one’s the grand finale. It builds on everything from the first part but adds layers—a little more percussion here, some vocal harmonies there. The energy picks up, and suddenly you’re not just listening; you’re feeling it. Like, I caught myself nodding my head way too hard while cooking ugali last night. No lie, this track sticks with you because it feels like a celebration. A proper knees-up kind of vibe. What makes this album stand out is its authenticity. There’s no trying-too-hard nonsense here. It’s pure Kenyan soul music, the kind that reminds you of dusty roads, big skies, and good company. Owino Nyota did right by putting this out—it’s got that old-school charm without sounding dated. Honestly, after spinning this album a few times, I started thinking: why don’t we hear more stuff like this nowadays? Like, sure, Afrobeats is cool and all, but sometimes you just need something real, ya know? Something that feels like home even if you’ve never been to Kenya. And hey, fun fact—I googled “Anyango” after listening, and turns out it means “the beautiful one” in Luo. Makes total sense now why these tracks feel so damn uplifting. Music like this doesn’t just entertain; it connects. Like, deep down, ancestral-level connects. Weirdly enough, it made me wanna call my grandma. How many albums can say that? So yeah, if you’re looking for something fresh yet rooted, check out Anyango Nya Japuonj. Just don’t blame me if you end up dancing in your living room at 2 AM.
