On Pathé Marconi comes this LP of sweet benga, it’s from
1977 but contains songs, recorded in 1975 and 1976.
Benga was Kenya’s popular sound from the seventies,
but you can spot influences of Congolese music, for instance,
in Dr. Collella Mazee’s ‘Susana’. Highly energetic East
African sound, kick aside y’r funiture and dance away !
tracks;
1 Z. Abuya
2 Sunga Jomwandu
3 Oscar Obuogo
4 Come on Jack
5 Chunya we wita
6 Susana
7 Ben Bobo
8 Cham Luchi
A very nice record! Thnak you moos!
You are the ‘Insider’. This is prime posting. Thank you.
Oh my fantasy came true. Simply amazing.
Thank you so much.
Looking forward very much to future benga posts.
Another cracking Oluoch Kanindo production. Thanks a million

Although benga isn’t my fave Kenyan music (I prefer Swahili Rumba), I know I will enjoy this. Many thanks in advance, Moos!
Indeed, brilliant find! I was about to make the old joke about Kenyan albums labeled Stereo when they aren’t. Then I had a listen and AMAZINGLY, this one IS in stereo.

Hallo Moos. Just bumped into your blog. Thanks for all the wonderful music. Rare jewels indeed! I actually own quite a number of these numbers but I can’t listen to them coz they don’t sale styli no more (atlease in Kenya where I stay). Thanks again.
