This is an album of well known, commercialized Kenyan songs. The song entitled "Jambo Jambo" on this album and mentioned in the review above is NOT a Kenyan birthday song. It is basically a tourism song - it welcomes visitors to the country of Kenya. The first few lines translate roughly to: "Hello, Hello Sir. How are you? Very well. Visitors, you are welcome to our Kenya. There are no worries." Just thought I'd share this information for those people who are interested in knowing the correct meanings/contexts of the songs. --- Failojo (California, USA), amazon.com
