OYS export series

OYS 949      Super Mazembe                                   Okova Pts 1 & 2

Veteran musician Daudi Kabaka produced OYR 12 for this AIT-distributed label. The single, which surfaced on Ebay in March 2009, features the orutu, a traditional one-stringed fiddle.

There’s another single featuring the instrument by the Malombo Orutu Choir on the Tat Yien label.

OYR 7 and OYR 8 turned up on Ebay in March 2011, though without a producer’s credit to Daudi Kabaka, and the rest of the singles come from the AIT master catalogue, revealing a roster of Luo bands that is very similar to the Kido label.

The unbroken run of catalogue numbers suggests this listing may now be complete.

OYS 949 turned up on Ebay in January 2012 from a South African seller. Featuring a song originally released on Editions Mazembe, it shows that the label was also used by AIT/Teal for the export market.
