Ever have a lfe-changing musical experience? That happened to Ian Eagleson, an indie rocker who studied Benga music from Nairobi for his Ph.D. thesis, then recuited another of his rock band buddies to form an American-African fusion with native Kenyans.
The resulting band is called "Extra Golden," whose third album, "Thank You Very Quickly," debuted in early 2009.
Here and Now’s Jill Ryan caught up with them on their current tour.
