Ogoya Nengo

Ever since her childhood OGOYA NENGO, baptized Anastasia Oluoch in about 1940, would excite listeners around her village with her singing abilities. Very soon she had received her stage name "Ogoya Nengo" which in Dholuo (language) means: the most precious and expensive singer in the region.

Ogoya Nengo and Sven Kacirek met for the first time in 2009 during the recordings of the album “The Kenya Sessions.”Her album "Rang'ala" (Honest Jon's/London) came out in 2014 and was recorded and produced by Sven Kacirek and Stefan Schneider at various spots around Rang’ala Village, Siaya County, Kenya. Over the next four years, Ogoya Nengo and her Dodo Women's Group toured Europe intensively and played at many festivals, including “Le Guess Who?”.
