'Currently' is like right now, today, at this moment in time. It tells nothing about the past.
Examples:
Currently the prices of gas are increasing.
I am currently studying English.
'Recently' refers to a change that happened not long ago, maybe within a day, a week, a month, or a year, depending on the context.
Examples:
Recently the prices of gas have increased.
I have recently started studying English.

Currently, means now.
It implies something taking place as we speak but could change.
For example.
I currently live in Kenya.
This means that I live in Kenya now but could live in any other country in the future.
Recently, means not long ago.
I recently visited Kenya.
This implies that I was in Kenya not long ago.
