OULA

Quartet of singles that turned up on Ebay in April 2009 on yet another label operated by Oluoch Kanindo, the producer behind POK, Bolingo and many other labels.


What’s interesting about the label, though, is that it appears to contradict the sleevenotes of the Victoria Kings’ Mighty Kings of Benga CD on Globestyle. The notes say the tracks on the CD were all originally released in the late 1970s and early 1980s as singles on the band’s own Oula Record Company label, yet here is Oula putting out singles by other Luo bands and at a slightly earlier date too.
