WENDO

Although the two records listed carry very different catlogue prefixes, I am assuming that they are both issued on the same Audio Productions of Nairobi label.


Wendo 4, from Flemming Harrev’s collection is by the New Gatanga Boys who are either an offshoot or a a continuation of the Gatanga Boys, a Kikuyu band who also recorded for Mercury.


Wee 01 from Doug Paterson’s collection is by the sister group to the popular Kamba band, the Kalambya Brothers. The sisters also recorded for Ngatata and Utanu.


WENDO 01 turned up on the CD&LP sales site in February 2013.
