I held off adding a listing for Ngoma until November 2013 as it was often impossible to tell whether discs on the label were made in France or elsewhere. By the time I had firm evidence that Ngoma releases were pressed under license in Kenya, events has in a way overtaken me with the launch of Flemming Harrev’s excellent afrodiscs.com website. It has a history of the Ngoma label as well as a near-complete listing of all records on it.

Many of these discs, as I discovered from afrodiscs.com, are from the Series Luxe J series of releases. How many others from that series were produced in Kenya is hard to say.
