Udulele
About me
Nairobi, Kenya
Udulele is an award winning singer, songwriter, producer,
multi- instrumentalist and audio engineer. He is popularly known
as the father of Soulful Benga & Kantingwati rhythm/groove - a
soundscape which acts as the foundation for the studio he co-
founded known as Bengatronics based in Nairobi. His musical
expression can be described as Soulful Benga blended with layers
of percussive sounds drawn out from the vast diversities of East
African instrumentation. His creative form unfolds from digging
and unearthing underground sounds and transforming them into a
new expression. I experiments with futuristic formats -
giving an Afro-futurism feel to his music.

JO ABIRO
"JO ABIRO" is a Dholuo word from the Luo people of Kenya, which means "I am coming accompanied by unseen entities." The composition and lyrics were written by Udulele, while Moritz Isidor, a renowned guitarist from Germany, skillfully performed the second guitar, arranged the song, did final mastering, and mastered the song. The mixing was expertly handled by Jeffrey Bok, a sound engineer and producer from the Netherlands who is also known as Jeffrey Bok. Jeffrey Bok is also one half of the well-known Dutch DJ/producer/engineer duo called Umoja
