Global hit – Yunasi
Three members of the band Yunasi giving us a musical greeting.
Yunasi is a nine-member Afro-fusion group from Kenya.
Much of their music has a political message.
They’re not afraid to sing about human rights issues or the social strife Kenyans face.
The song we just heard them sing is about corrupt politicians.
It was written BEFORE the current political turmoil in Kenya.
Tell us about the song itself and what you were driving at when you first started performing it.
