SMZ 05       Orch Les Muzikanas                 Asaba Pts 1 & 2

SMZ 6        Boma Liwanza & The                Sina Mambo Pts 1 & 2

                 International Orchestra

One of AIT’s subsidiary labels that basically does what it says on the tin, ie, release records by Congolese artists, many of them based in Kenya and Tanzania.

Much of the information here is from AIT’s master catalogue, which lists two titles as being MZ 6, which is presumably a mistake.

The labels on MZ105 and MZ106 say the band is Orch Super Jambo, but it is surely meant to be Super Mambo.

In June 2013 Sofiane of Groovy Record in Paris alerted me to the existence of SMZ 05 and SMZ 6. The same records - with the same catalogue numbers, see above right - appears on the Super Musiki du Zaire label.
