This album is a compilation of hard-to-find 7' singles released in Kenya by the Audio Productions stable in the first half of the 1980s and most have never been released outside of East Africa.Amongst others, it features artists such as Super Wanyika, led by the legendary vocalist Issa Juma, originally from Tanzania, who played a pivotal role in the Kenyan club scene in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Also featured is Orchestra Shika Shika, a Congolese band based in Nairobi, who recorded more than 70 singles for a host of labels. Their track included here, ' Diana' is one of their very best and was the title track of their album released in 1983; featuring the sublime vocals of Jimmy Monimambo and Lovy Longomba.We hope you enjoy this deep dive into these lost sounds from Kenya's rumba and benga scene!(The LP also comes with a free CD featuring additional material)Tracklisting:A1.
