Episode 4: Goan Roots, Kenyan Rhythms

2025-11-15

In this episode, we follow the remarkable journey of Lina Pires — from her music-filled Goan upbringing in India to her pioneering work as a music educator in Kenya. Lina reflects on arriving in a newly independent Kenya, helping shape university music programmes, and later introducing music braille to blind students at a time when no one in the country had ever taught it.  It is story that reveals how migration and memory intertwine to create a sense of home across continents.
