An Indian singer Usha Uthup was visiting Nairobi, Kenya as part of an Indian festival and received an enthusiastic welcome there, which prompted them to extend her schedule and was recorded this album in 1978. The key to this album is that it is backed by the Fellini 5 who left mega synth afro piece ”Africa '77”. The album's signature elegant soul disco "Fever" and groovy synth disco "Honey I" are among the tracks that make the most of the singer's vocals, while mid to ballad tracks are also mixed in. Later, she was appointed an honorary citizen of Kenya and seems to have made great achievements.
インドのフェスティバルの一環でケニア・ナイロビを訪れていたインド人シンガーUsha Uthupが現地で熱烈な歓迎を受けた事を発端にそのまま予定を延長して録音したという78年作。バックをシンセ・アフロ鬼盤”Africa '77”も残しているFellini 5の面々が演奏しているのが肝。このアルバムを象徴するエレガント・ソウルディスコ”Fever"、グルーヴィ・シンセ・ディスコ”Honey I"を筆頭にミッド～バラード曲も織り交ぜながら彼女のヴォーカルを活かすような楽曲が並びます。その後にはケニアの名誉市民に任命されたり大きな足跡を残したようです。
