Turkana Sessions - Musical journey via culture & landscape of Turkana | Grapevine

Content House Kenya has released Turkana Sessions-a musical journey through the astounding culture and landscape of Turkana.
This project brings together Turkana artists in collaboration with Nairobi's Eddie Grey in an exploration of the region’s musical heritage.
All 10 songs off the project are performed live and were recorded in live form, by the breathtaking shores of Lake Turkana, in the pyramid hills at Eliye and the grass flats of Kerio, all in Turkana County.
Eddy Grey’s soulful guitar rhythms marry with authentic Turkana sounds to provide a rich and captivating showcase - depicting what is possible when we look at new ways of presenting our traditional art forms through high and quality production.
The 10-song project cuts across societal themes close to the day-to-day life of the communities living in Turkana.
Through storytelling, the artists tackle different topics and life situations in a clever way.
While Northern Kenya has historically been in the news for conflict and poverty, the region is also endowed with great beauty and cultural heritage.
Its stark, arid landscape is home to Lake Turkana, the largest desert lake in the world. The lake’s distinctive green waters led it to be named the Jade Sea and its craters and crocodile-filled islands make it one of the most unique places to visit in the world.
Turkana Sessions is the third project from The Artists Xchange.
The artists work in various disciplines including music, video art, film, fashion, visual art and photography.
It is time to change the narrative on Northern Kenya, show the world its art forms and inspire Kenyans to look to their roots for inspiration.
