About

Kenyan musician Fadhilee Itulya began his professional music career in 2008. He draws inspiration from a style of guitar music called Omutibo from the Luhya people of Western Kenya, which is driving, syncopated, and gets people to dance like nothing else. His music has elements of acoustic folk, pop/dance and world music – making for a melange of good time music that is grounded in culture, community and care for the environment. His debut album Kwetu (meaning ’home’ in Swahili) features ten vibrant songs and also includes four traditional chants with Isukuti percussion, showcasing the roots percussion style of Western Kenya.

Reflecting Shakespeare’s declaration that ‘all the world’s a stage’, Naxos is poised to significantly enhance its contribution to the platform for world music. Relaunched and breathing new life, the Naxos World label hits the ground running with recordings that represent both distinct cultures and adventures in fusion. Music lovers around the world can join in sharing the experience of contrasting sounds from unique cultures, aided by detailed and colourful introductory booklets that will inform both newcomers and aficionados alike.
