Japanese nyatiti player and musician Eriko Mukoyama shoots video for her new song

Every time that Japanese musician Eriko Mukoyama returns to a small village in rural Kenya, she is welcomed like a daughter returning home.

And so, it was earlier this week as Mukoyama, popularly known as Anyango, an accomplished player of the eight-stringed traditional lyre, the nyatiti, returned to the village in Siaya where she spent one year in 2005 learning the instrument.
