Philips
The record label was a division of Philips, the Dutch-based electronics giant , and was originally set up in 1950. Twelve years later, in 1962, Philips and Deutsche Grammophon, owners of the Polydor label, set up a joint venture, Phonogram. Both Philips and Polydor issued records in Africa during the 1960s, then in 1972 Phonogram merged with Polydor to form a new company, Polygram. At this point, the Philips label all but disappeared in East Africa.Press to see what we have in stock

Sukumuna
The Muchatha Boys were a Kikuyu group although it is unclear whether they are connected to the Muchatha Band who recorded for the Kiang’ombe Mwenda Sound label. Muchatha is just north of Nairobi and these records look to be self-financed efforts by the band’s leader Peter Mbui. Since there are clearly other records on the label, the band presumably enjoyed a degree of local fame.Press to see what we have in stock

One-off self-produced record by Kikuyu musician Peter Gaithuma and his band.
