2x10 version. Open-hearted, fresh, lovely, bumptious recordings of women's singing, from a village in southwest Kenya. Dodo is a type of traditional Luo music mostly used for entertainment at weddings, drinking parties and wrestling festivals. Songs in praise of the happy couple, the hardest drinkers, and the best wrestlers. Ogoya Nengo was born in 1943. Her vocal abilities were discovered when she was herding cattle, as she never attended school, though nowadays her professional name signals both the Magoya clan of her birth and the fees she commands - nengo meaning price in Luo - as the most expensive Dodo performer on the circuit. Babana, Kadana, Ohangla I, Arum, Lucas Odhiambo, Amunya, Jomaranda, Lemo, Ohangla II, Juma Fundi, Dhero, Anas, Jamienda, Sigala Gala
