Biography:
Born Shiphton Onyango, Winyo adopted the artistic name “Winyo,” which is a Luo word for “bird.” (The Luo are a tribe from the Lake Victoria region of Western Kenya.) He says that he derives his music and musical strength from his forefathers, whose African music was rich in melody and traditional harmonies.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

The original version is finger-picked and it works fine if you just stumm it, but it loses that african groove.
Enjoy!
No capo in the album version.
