Credits
Kamba drumming (seven tracks are from "Akamba Drums" (Tamasha Corp, PO Box 43695 Nairobi). It seems probable, from the confusion in the liner notes, that the recordings were lifted from another source.
Myali (three tracks) are performed by Francis Mutiso, and taken from "Francis Mutiso: Miali Ya Akamba - Mundu muwe wa matuu" (CSKSS-130, Kamaru's City Sounds, Nairobi).
