Five recordings of Luo benga from the British Library’s National Sound Archive collection.

Siaya Central may be linked to Central Siaya Jazz who recorded for Gabytone and Hippo, while Nyanza Stars also recorded for Sibuor. Shirati LV is, presumably, DO Misiani’s band or an offshoot of it.

Thanks to Sofiane of Groovy Record in Paris for the label scan.
