The Heart of Art

A musical Band of Afro, Neo, Rock and Jazz

Lele is Swahili for “Mwanzo Wa Ngoma”. ie, The Beginning of Music.

Lele is a musical Band, consisting of four members: Charles Kahiro, Charles Bodo, Barbra Guya and Kevin Koech. These four extremely talented artists and music lovers, were brought together by Music. Literally. Barbra and Bodo met Kahiro and Koech jamming at The Alliance Française. Koech and Kahiro, were highschool friends, music students.

Kahiro and Koech  are the instrumentalists while Barbra and Bodo are the main vocalists. These four bring an interesting mix: They fuse modern Afro music with Rock, Neo- Soul and Jazz. Interesting. And the music is nothing but brilliant!

The Soulful Lele are yet to record any of their more than 80 songs (yap! 80 songs and more.. dig that!) and they are still focused mainly on Making their art better; more gigs and Live Performances. Keep your ears open for any of performances be this band, and you can search for their page on facebook, “Lele>> mwanzo wa ngoma>” The beginning of Music!
