A NAM Productions of Kisumu label that is an outlet for the ever prolific Luo benga band. As Victoria C Kings, they recorded for Editions Abu, Osogo Winyo Manyasi, Zeze and as Victoria C Band for Koth Wuon Chiemo, Lake Victoria.

PIYO 02 turned up at London’s Sounds of the Universe record store in January 2009, with details of PIYO 5 coming from Sofiane of Groovy Record in Paris in April 2011.
