An AIT label that released records in both Kikamba and Kikuyu by a few well-known bands such as Kilimambogo Brothers, Kamaru Celina Band, Daniel Kamau’s Lulus Band and James Mbugua’s Karura Brothers Band as well as by other less familiar artists. These include the sole recordings I’ve found so far by the Kanjunge Boys, the Mandaraka Boys, the Gatunyu Boys Band and the Dagoretti Boys Band. The latter were presumably trying for the word “campaign” on their B-side but the label is misspelt.

The CDM on KGA 526 is presumably CDM Kiratu who also recorded for CDKS and Golden Rings Sautika.

AIT’s master catalogue, source of much of the information about this label, lists two singles as KRG 413. This is clearly a mistake, so I have highlighted them in bold until I can find evidence to rectify the error.
