En Mana Kuoyo
Ayub Ogada is of the Luo tribe, born in Mombasa on
the coast of Kenya. At the age of six he accompanied his father,
who was studying medicine in the United States, and his
mother when they took their musical act on tour. When he returned to
Kenya, he attended a Catholic school, and then an English
boarding school. This education and his outstanding ability with percussion
led him to a position with the French Cultural Centre in
Nairobi, composing modern and traditional music for productions. In 1979,
Ayub co-founded the African Heritage Band; after
six years, two albums and several lucrative movie roles, he decided to move on.
Ayub found himself in the UK in 1986, where he was quickly snapped
up by London's African music set. For a time, Ayub played
with Taxi Pata Pata, along with guitarist Zak
Sikobe, who is also from Kenya.
