Kenya’s creative ecosystem nurtures and circulates a vast array of auditory works that resonate both within local communities and across global audiences, and this sound, credited to artist Rihanna and titled Breakin' Dishes, stands as one such work preserved in the global archive of sounds originating from the country.
