Nuta Jazz and Maquis du Zaire are relatively well known, the former contributing five tracks to the Zanzibara 3: The 1960s Sound of Tanzania CD (Buda Musique, 2007).

Black Devils Band, though, are a mystery proposition.

In July 2011, TRS 002 by JKT Kimbunga and TRS 004 by Orch Lombe Lombe were sold on Ebay as part of a job lot that unfortunately did not include details of the song titles. If anyone can provide this information, please drop me an email.
