This looks like the self-produced label of Daniel Kamau. He was the leader of the Lulus Band, a Kikuyu outfit who recorded prolifically in the 1970s, cutting sides for KDK, Kirinyaga, Sibuor, Kundi, Kasanga and Sokota among others. See Bands index for an up-to-date listing.

Many thanks to Flemming Harrev in Denmark for supplying the much clearer scan of DKS 97, left, and to Phil Etgart for supplying details of DKS 7-95 and to Per Leuf in Sweden for details of DKS 7-014, DKS 7-015 and DKS 1011. Thanks, too, to Fredrik Lavik for giving me details of DKS 7-983 in July 2013 – it is the only single so far that does not feature Kamau’s band.
