An Noor Lamu, Kenya
Hailing from Lamu, Kenya, the Al Noor band is a troupe of more than ten musicians: Percussionists, singers, keyboardist, and
flautist. Sometimes they are accompanied by dancers when playing at big weddings.
Their leader, Khalid, who is also the composer and arranger of most of their songs, aims to fuse together the midzikenda sounds of Giriama/Bajuni music with the oriental Taarab rhythms.
