BANDS A-Z
This website has been running for more than six months and the index has ballooned in that time to contain the names of almost 900 bands and performers. It has grown so much that keeping it on one page has become problematic, so I have overhauled the entries in a number of ways:
Splitting the whole index up into individual pages, one for each letter of the alphabet.
Consolidating double entries wherever possible, so Orch Sega-Sega and Sega-Sega Band, for example, are now filed in a single entry under S.
Removing the somewhat confusing state of affairs where some entries were filed under O for Orch; T for The or L for Les. All band entries are now sorted by the dominant word: eg Orch Les Hi-Fives is now listed under H. The exception to this are bands with Super in their name - so Super Volcano is listed under S.
Individual performers, however, are still listed under the first letter of their first name, eg Baba Gaston is listed under B, Fundi Konde under F and so on.
Finding pictures of bands isn’t easy, so apologies for the lack of visual stimulation. I’ll add more images as I find them.
I’ve used headers on each page from a fascinating exhibition called Kanga and Kitenge, Cloth and Culture in East Africa at the Erie Art Museum in Pennsylvania. Visit the museum’s website here to discover more.
