About Ntwiga

2 posts · joined 2006-12-28

I am a Kenyan currently living in North America who blogs on all manner of things at lots of places including on my blog at <a href=”http://www.ntwiga.net/blog/?cat=31″ title=”East African music at ntwiga.net”>ntwiga.net</a> and at <a href=”http://www.afrigadget.com” title=”AfriGadget”>AfriGadget</a>.<br><br>
My interests on the web are primarily in the spheres of technology appropriate for the African environment especially in the telecommunications sector as well as music where I demonstrate tunnel vision by narrowly focusing on East African music from before the start of the millenium. <br><br>Most of my work, on the internet at least, moves towards getting some global exposure for and traction to issues related to these areas, albeit in a small way.
