KISUMu chronicles the journey of an African musician. It is a 1980s far echo of African music noir, it tells the story musicians working in Kenya. A young musician is fighting to beat the odds in his own way in a town he knows so well. As a leader of music freaks in Kisumu's nefarious darkness, he encou-nters upsurging whirlpools of survival, exploitation, greed, feuds, and revenge. Despite all the hysteria, he makes a fairly good case for extraordinary achievement backmasking in heavy benga music. Kisumu is a lavish and eclectic, encyclopaedic, deeply felt knowledge of music and pop culture.
