Thank You Very Quickly

The third release from international group Extra Golden (two members are from the US and two are from Kenya) is a six-song wonder where joyous danceable anthems were crafted in the wake of political and economic upheaval in Kenya. The opening and closing tracks extend a humble thanks to all the fans who donated money to keep the band's families safe amidst Kenya's post-election violence in 2008. "Four bars and you're hooked - lost in what is probably the most energetic African sound of the year. It's a feisty piece of work produced with energy and sensitivity" - Songlines (4 stars).
