Description
“Kwaheri,” the third movement of Ngoma za Kenya, contains similar gestures to the previously released first movement, “Jambo” (2008), but is harmonically more progressive. Stylistic influences in the work come from the composer’s experiences with Kenyan choral traditions (call and response) and the joyful, optimistic, and celebratory nature of Kenyan culture.
