                      & Sukuma Band

The vast majority of singles in this listing come from the Voice of America collection. They point to a label that had its own roster, primarily of Luo and Kisii bands, and hung onto it. With the exception of Sukuma Bin Ongaro and Sukuma Band, few of these bands appear to have recorded for other labels.

The Kenya Gazette, which lists government activities and debates in parliament, also covers registered trademarks, albeit in a haphazard fashion. The Kenya Gazette for 15 May 1998, for instance, reveals that Upendo was registered as a trademark on 29 October 1975, which seems a bit late in the day for a label that appears to have put out most of its records prior to that date.

The gazette lists the three principals of AP Chandarana & Sons as being Arvindkumar P Chandarana, Mansukhari P Chandarana and Rasikkumar P Chandarana and notes that all are British citizens.
