Loiyangalani Stars is a group of singers from Loiyangalani, west of Lake Turkana. The group consists of singers we encountered during the Turkana Cultural Festival when Ketebul Music and our partners Abubilla Music and Alliance Francaise de nairobi travelled to Loiyangalani to record material for the Singing Wells Project.
The group is currently in Nairobi rehearsing for their performance at the Spolght on Kenyan Music concert to be held at the Alliance Francaise de Nairobi on the 29th of July. During their two week stay, the Loiyangalani Stars will also record material at Ketebul Music Studios.
The group is made up of Fransisco, Akolong', Lomkuny, Longori, Atuipu and Mekelita, all with diverse backgrounds and occupations. But just to quote Francsisco, "..all Turkanas are musicians.."
