A Kikuyu label, out of Karatina, a market town midway between Nairobi and Nanyuki.


The first of these turned up on Ebay in February 2009, but the scan of the label was so poor that I am not sure if the catalogue number is correct. Certainly, the band doesn’t appear anywhere else in this discography.


The BHB Band may well be the Banana Hill Band, a group who recorded for Njogu, Sibuor and Sokota in the mid 1970s.


The logic escapes me, however, of calling your label Rainbow Sounds and then coming up with a black and white design for it.
