An AIT label featuring Orch Mandalala, a Congolese band that is either an offshoot of Orch Grand Piza, who had a song called Mandalala, or Orch Grand Piza itself. The one constant feature is the presence of Makengo Roy in both bands.


To confuse the issue a bit, Nawela Te, BON 3, is credited to Chumu Lala, who may well be Chumu Lay-Lay who wrote for Orch Tout Mopia. Both Tout Mopia and Grand Piza recorded for Bana Moja.


Orch Teke-Teke, though, is a band I know nothing about.
