Extra Golden is bi-continental collaboration between Kenyan and Amercian musicians, an innovative combination of east African benga guitar pop and American boogie rock that includes former members of the band Golden. This sophmore recording was done during the band's US tour last fall, the Kenyan members' first trip outside of east Africa."Obama" is a song of praise for the Senator and his staff for helping the Kenyan members of the band clear visa hurdles to tour the US and record this album in 2006.Hera Ma Nono" will be out on October 9th on Thrill Jockey. Ok-Oyot System and Opiyo Bilongo's What do People Want are out now. "...their sophomore effort does well to reflect the experiences of two so very different (but so very the same) halves. The group creates a beautiful cooperative of African and American, yin and yang that truly is Extra Golden.” URB.com
