DJ Edu - from tape seller to BBC DJ

Available for over a year

It's what many teenagers have been doing for years....compiling their own tapes of their favourite music. But for some it becomes more than a hobby, shared at best with a few friends. For DJ Edu for example making his own mixtapes was the start of a successful career. He started selling the tapes in his home city of Nairobi in Kenya - now he is working on the BBC's music station 1xtra and has gone back to his old neighbourhood of Buru Buru in the Kenyan capital, to meet the new generation of aspiring young DJs.
