AY 7-013 is in the Voice of America collection, AY 7-014 in the British Library’s National Sound Archive.

The label says the singles were produced by Orange Records of Nairobi, the same company behind the Sango and Hi-Hit labels.

Orchestra Tel Tel, who don’t appear to have recorded for anyone else, were essentially a Luo band, although Jenny Nyota Wangu is sung in Kiswahili.

October 2011: AY 7-007 was located in the Ethnographical Museum, Berlin. It is by a Luo band that also recorded for Atudo, Chiew Rakuthe, Hi-Hit, Philips and Sango. See Bands Index for an up-to-date list of the band’s various labels.
