Additional Audio from the ‘Music time in Africa’ archive library of Luo folk music. “By a group of young Luo girls, singing a delightful tune about a Woodchopper.” Introduced by radio host Sue Moran, 11th May 1975. Metaphorically speaking, Khadambi Asalache is the woodchopper within the 575 Wandsworth Road narrative, that the Kenyan girls are referring to.
Many thanks to the University of Michigan for permission to use the MTiA radio archive.
