"These are really the zilizopendwa. The nostalgia factor is very high and for those that grew up in the 70's or 80's it brings back memories of Kenya at it's best so far. Overall very good CD, I wish we had more of these."

Them Mushrooms' masterpiece

"I remember listening to the tracks on this CD on radio when I was growing up. Now I have the CD and I never seem to get enough of them mushrooms - the music is so good, reminiscent of kenya especially coz of its distinctive coastal influence (I know what you another kenyan reviewer away in the US meant by being reminded from home)!
So I you want to sample the best music from Kenya, before the infiltration of Reggae (Them Mushrooms embraced that too but the result is not as good as this) and hip hop (which is done by current young artistes) then try this. You will enjoy this ageless music."

A great way to remember home if you are far away

"If you are Kenyan you are bound to agree with me that this CD obviously reminds you of home. A peaceful blend of rich soulful tones. Something definitely original and Kenyan! They Don't sing them like that anymore!"
