Above is the first side of a casette from Kenya that my friend Joshua bought for me while he was there... thanks Josh!
This shit has lengthy breakdowns that sound to me like early house music—if it was done on twangy guitars, muffly bass and break-your-bones live drums in East Africa.

sick. Glad to see you got a chance to listen to this. This cassette always confused me a bit as I was not sure if it were one group or two on the recording. Part of me always felt that the sides were labeled backwards.
Maybe one of your readers knows something about this artist and can confirm this is him on the recordings posted.
As with almost all of my African tape purchases, this one was done based almost entirely on the cover, from a push cart vendor in Kenya.

totally. it definitely took a while to figure out which side was which—both sides of the cassette were actually labeled the same. i will do some research on side B before posting.... still not sure WHAT that is.
thanks for the bit of background on the purchase. hopefully, with tower records finished over here in the States, push cart vendors will pick up the slack?
