PEACOCK

Thanks to Alastair Johnston for the scan of this gorgeous label. The Rwengo Brothers were a Kikuyu group led by John Ndicu, who recorded Mary Mama as the A-side of a single on the Cucu Wagakunga label. The listing for that label explains how Ndicu fell foul of the censors and had a record banned in 1987.


PEA 02 is by a Kamba group that I have no further information on.


In April 2011 Sofiane of Groovy Record in Paris supplied details of PEA 9 and PEA 16, both singles by Kikuyu artists. The Mwaura of PEA 9 may be Joseph Mwaura, who recorded a couple of singles on Ruoro Rugitema with Kibugi Daughters - Unity Choir. Mubutiti Stars, though, do not feature elsewhere in this discography.
