The book explores the intricate relationship between music and traditional healing practices in Kenya, challenging the notion that music therapy is solely tied to traditional rituals. It highlights how Western influences have also shaped healing practices, particularly within Catholic charismatic performances. Additionally, it examines the role of street musicians in the healing process, showing that music's therapeutic effects extend beyond religious contexts. This text is relevant for scholars across various disciplines interested in the intersection of music and healing in Africa.
