BENS INTERNATIONAL

This 1970s label appears to have been mainly devoted to Luo bands, with the exception of the praise song for President Daniel Arap Moi. As Moi came to power in 1978, this would indicate the label started up that year or later.


Of the other bands, KDS Dahos appear to be either King Daho Success, who also recordd for Polydor, or an offshoot from it, while Kabasseleh-Kidi is presumably HO Kabaselleh’s Lunna Kidi.
