Kenya is the birthplace of all that is musical. The African continent is synonymous with the pulse beat of music. Keeping a country as important to culture as Kenya pure from media destruction is the job of journalists like Joseph Odindo who works for the largest private media institution in Kenya, the Nation Media Group.
Nothing kills musical inspiration faster than a media that is irresponsible. Joseph Odindo believes in his country's heritage and the Nation Media Group works hard to preserve that which makes Kenya the amazing country it is.
You can hear the influence of African music in all of the modern music today. Not just because of the African/American culture and the influx of popular black artists today but because of their infusion of music as far back as can be remembered. Definitely rock and roll has been directly influenced by the great black artists that came before it. The pounding rhythms are a call back to the culture that Joseph Odindo and his fellow journalists protect so adamantly today.
