Jingo - Ismael Jingo, also known as Ismael Said Ismael, was born in Mombasa in 1949 to Said Ismale and Fatuma Ismael.He moved back to Mombasa in the late 1960s soon becoming a vibrant, musical presence at the Central Night Club and the Nelson Bar. Jingo moved to Nairobi in 1968 and was a regular performer at the Starlight Club, where he was distinctively known for his high tenor and for being a brilliant percussionist.In the 70’s, Jingo spent some time touring in Ethiopia, Switzerland, and London which is where he recorded ‘Fever,’ one of his best known hits consisting of an electric synthesis of Kenyan coastal chakacha and American soul.

Artist Focus - Black Savage
Black Savage was a short-lived mid-1970s Afro Rock group of young college-age Kenyans, namely Barrack Achieng (bass), Job Seda (a.k.a. Ayub Ogada) (percussion), Noel Drury Sanyanafwa (drums), Jack Odongo (keyboards) and Gordon Ominde (Golden Simone) (guitar), most of them were from the Luo tribe. Outside of Kenya their output has been mostly invisible until a recent reissue and spreading through the internet, but they were quite popular among Nairobi youngsters in the 1970s. Their music was released on an LP and three singles between the mid-'70s and the early 80s, and has remained out of print ever after.
