The first of these singles is in Kikamba, all the rest are in Kikuyu. Kamaru Celina Band also recorded for Joseph Kamaru’s KMS label; Daniel Kamau’s Lulus Band for KDK, DK Undugu Sound, Kundi, Sibuor and Sokota, James Mbugua’s Karura Brothers Band for Kihumbu Harmonic Sound and their own label, Karura Brothers. The others are 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.
With copyright assigned to EIT, this is presumably an AIT label.
