Episode 160 features an interview with young Kenyan musician who from a young age became enamored with the words and music of Bob Dylan. So much so that when Ondara won an American green card lottery, he moved to Dylan’s home city of Minnesota. In 2013, aged 20, Ondara arrived with a rudimentary grasp of both English and playing guitar, little money and no professional connections. With little more that his unique voice and a growing catalogue of original songs, J S Ondara scored a deal with Verve Records. Now he is touring America, Canada, playing sold out concert halls in Europe and the UK. A remarkable story about a young musician who is now encountering comparative ubiquity with his album ‘Tales of America’
