Chemirocha – a song recorded in 1950s Kenya as a tribute to country singer Jimmie Rogers. “Rodgers’ records were the first to be heard in this part of Kenya and the name came to mean anything strange or new. The similarity of his guitar sound to the local lyre meant that a whole legend grew around him: he was supposedly a friend of a local musician and also a faun descended from the god Pan, half man and half antelope.” – Hugh Tracey archive (via Alex)
