Ondara Negotiates a Rebirth of Self

Soundcheck | Jul 13, 2023

Singer and songwriter Ondara's story is that of a young person in Kenya falling in love with Bob Dylan songs and winning a green card lottery that let him follow his dream of moving to America. Now Ondara has released his third LP, Spanish Villager #3, and while it has a more produced, electric sound, he’s touring around doing solo acoustic performances. He plays solo acoustic songs in-studio.  

Set list: "A Shakedown in Berlin", "A Nocturnal Heresy", "A Seminar in Tokyo"
