Any Kenyan music lovers in the ether? (*a roaring* - yessss)! 

This June, we're diving deeper into the book Shades of Benga - at Hadithi Hangout: Chapter 9! 

Following May's incredible exploration on Kenya's "pre-independence" music scene, and how World War II shaped the industry, this Hadithi Hangout we'll uncover who really wrote the famous song, 'Malaika'? ... did you know this was/ remains a highly-contested topic?
