Sir Elvis’ voice is a musical constitution. It digs into an era, into a genre and it channels it through the voice of a black African man, a man as far away from Nashville or Kentucky as a black African man can ever be. He sings country music.
If you hear Elvis singing without seeing him, you might think it’s Garth Brooks or Hank Williams, or that man who sounds like a musical god with a guitar — Kenny Rogers. But he’s called Elvis Otieno, a country boy who grew up in the shores of Lake Victoria.
