One of AIT’s subsidiary labels. With the exception of the Milambo Jazz Band singles, which are in Dholuo, the rest of these singles are in Swahili and the majority appear to be by Tanzanian bands, suggesting this became AIT’s main conduit for releasing music licensed from Tanzania.


The catalogue numbering is in three distinct blocks and I’m not sure whether time of release is the sole guiding principle behind the system.


Moto Moto Dynamite is a spinoff from the original label.  Does the writing credit to Ramadhani suggest a connection to Tabora Jazz member Ramadhani H Angeliker?
