Hard to tell if this is one label or two.


Peter Mwambi’s Kyanganga Boys also recorded for Boxer and Utanu.


KHS 010, which is dated 1977, turned up on Ebay in March 2009, KHS 12 in May 2010, and Peter Toll supplied details of KHS 32 the same month, while the other two singles are from John Beadle’s tape collection, though I’m unsure if KHS 005 is just the A-side or Pts 1 & 2. James Mbugua’s band also had a single on its own Karura Brothers label.
