Summary This study is a historical, cultural, and musical exploration of Christian religious music among the Logooli of Western Kenya. It describes how new musical styles developed through contact with popular radio and other media from abroad and became markers of the Logooli identity and culture. The author narrates this history of a community through music and religious expression in local, national, and global settings. The book is enhanced by audiovisual material on the Ethnomusicology Multimedia series website
