• includes hits & rarities – not least the tracks initially released under their curious pseudonym – to give a full and fascinating picture of a special moment in time

• the only available album of Vijana Jazz Band and showcasing the unique koka koka, kamata sukuma (grab 'n' push) & rumba styles that were their speciality

• booklet contains comprehensive notes and full translations of all KiSwahili lyrics with audio diligently re-mastered from earliest available sources to continue our acclaimed series as curated by Doug Paterson
