It all began with a group playing together in a Kenya recording studio. Fadhili William, the man they call Fundi Gita ( the guitar craftsaman) came from Kenya, but his friends Nashil Pilchen original from the Congo, while Peter Tsotsi was a Zambian. They added another Kenyan, Daudi Kabaka, and their European recording manager Charles Worrod, and hoped for a new sound. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
