VIM 4                  Victoria Revolution                    Esther Atieno/O.K. Mam

Victoria Revolution recorded extensively for Melodica, with this record, which surfaced on Ebay in March 2009, the only one to appear on another label that I have so far encountered by the Luo band.

It’s undated, though the Sare PO box for the label is intriguing. Sare is south of Homa Bay and north of Migori, and not too far from the Tanzanian border. It may have been that this record was intended for a very local audience in western Kenya.
