The title “DUNIA” means “this world” in Swahili. It is a collaborative track with the internationally acclaimed violinist Aska Maret.
The ninth album by Anyango features her soothing vocals and the resonant sounds of the nyatiti. The title, AOKO, is named after her beloved daughter.
This is Anyango’s first full album in five and a half years as the world’s first female nyatiti player. It introduces a new world of world music combined with Japanese lyrics.
The birth of world remix dance music, blending Japanese, Cameroonian, Kenyan, and Senegalese influences.
Direct from the savannah. The best of Anyango from Kenya. Includes newly recorded collaborative tracks with Kenyan musician called Kenge Kenge that delighted Africa.
This dance music, born from the fusion of Kenya’s nyatiti and Japan’s yosakoi soran, will naturally make both performers and spectators move with its soul-stirring rhythms.
Listen to the savannah. Open your heart, close your eyes, breathe deeply and surrender to the sound. From the bustle of Nairobi, elephants wandering, the earth blooming after a cool rain, flamingos preening in the setting sun, to the full moon in the darkness. Embark on a journey of freedom.
Celebrating ten years with the nyatiti, this album blends African root music with electronica. It challenges traditional and innovative musical experiments while creating a beautiful world with the nyatiti’s sound, transparent vocals, and violin.
The first self-produced album dedicated to her mentor, Okumu Orenko. It’s been eight years since Anyango first stood on Alego’s soil. This heartfelt all-acoustic solo mini-album returns to the origins of the nyatiti.
Anyango’s support song for Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami relief, “Koe wo KiKasete” (Let me hear your voice), extends her activities from Kenya to Japan and the world. Includes full-band performances, nyatiti mixes, and special extra karaoke tracks.
A new legend in world music is born with Sally Nyoro’s bold and complex bikutsi groove combined with Anyango’s Kenyan nyatiti groove and her clear vocals.
The powerful chorus of Anyango’s Nyatiti Warembo!! is greatly enhanced. With a band-style rhythm section, the groove intensifies and accelerates further.
The long-awaited solo album is finally released. The groove of the nyatiti and Anyango’s piercing vocals will stir your soul.
