Luo singles primarily from the Voice of America collection by bands that seem to have recorded extensively elsewhere too. Ratego, means “strength” in Dholuo, hence the muscleman on the label design.

Kiwiro Jazz, I assume, are related to Kiwiro Boys Band, who released singles on God Huma, Kiwiro, Mago-Onge Othogo and POK, and Kiwiro Matata Jazz Band, who recorded

for Mzee Kobe.

Central Siaya Jazz put out records on Gabbytone and Hippo, while Winam Jazz did the same on Arum Koga and Jakong'o Olewo. Orch Aero Top Jazz, though, don’t appear anywhere else in this discography.

GUY 7-02 turned up on eBay in March 2017. It is hard to say why it has such a different catalogue number to the other records here.
