SEP 100 is a 1970s release that, to judge by the sleeve information, claims to be an English-language cavacha tune. Details of KHS/J-5, supplied by Sofiane of Groovy Record in Paris, point to a connection with James Mbugua’s Karura Brothers and Kihumbu Harmonic Sound labels.


SEP 10 turned up on Ebay in November 2012 and is by a band that also recorded for the Africa, Pluto and Polydor labels.
