Mid 1970s label, a sister to Kundi, that offers Luo, Kikuyu and Swahili recordings. From the examples I’ve seen Kikuyu singles have green labels and Luo ones red.


Many of the records bear a secondary number. These run in sequence, though what the meaning of the prefixes BOR, DKK and SUR is unclear.


Most of the artists on its roster have records on other labels too, notably noticeably Nelson Ochieng Mengo, here as the leader of Orch OM Jazz and elsewhere as a member of Victoria Jazz and International de Nelly.
