Like Apollo, a label dedicated to productions by Gabriel Omolo, leader of the Luo band Apollo Komesha ’71.

Details of the first three singles and the label scan were supplied by Ray Templeton. Wed Today Divorce Tomorrow can be found on the CD Kenya Dance Mania (Stern’s/Earthworks, 1991). Details of GB 7-025 were supplied by Michiel von Oosterhout.

The remaining three singles are in the British Library’s National Sound Archive, where the label name is misspelt as Gabytone and the catalogue numbers appear to be wrong too (GB 7023 rather than GB 7-023, for example). The first is described as rumba, the second as benga and the third doesn’t say.
