GAN 19 is from Doug Paterson’s collection. It’s by the Luo benga band led by John Otonde. Kiwiro Boys also recorded for God Huma, Kiwiro, Mago-Onge Othogo, POK and other labels. Check the Bands Index for an up-to-date listing.

Later, as I understand it, the group mutated into Orch Sega Sega.

Details of GAN 7  were supplied by Sofiane of Groovy Record in Paris. The scan shows this to have been a Raha-Tele label for productions by Chris Ochuodho, the man behind the Editions Chris, Cham Raha and Editions Les labels.

In May 2013 Tom Gilks sent in details of GAN 20 by DO Misiani’s prolific benga outfit. See the Bands Index for a full list of all of their labels – more than 30 as DO7 Shirati Jazz.
