HIPPO

The first two of the singles listed were distributed by Melodica and it’s possible the rest were too.


It later seems to have become an outlet for productions by Luo bandleader George Ramogi (1945-97), whose Continental Kilo Jazz Band - later shortened to CK Jazz - mixed benga and rumba styles to great effect.
