MIKE 02       Janjwa Stars                             Menya Ciaku/Tigana Na Ithui

The name of this Kikuyu band might be Janjwa Stars or Ja Njwa Stars. It is hard to say from the label, but what is certain is that they don’t figure anywhere else in this discography. I’d suggest that this single dates from the 1980s and the random typefaces on the label implies that a great deal of care and attention probably went into MIKE 01 and MIKE 02 caught the producers by surprise.

Thanks to Sofianne of Groovy Record in Paris for supplying details and a scan of this record in April 2011.
