about

Vijana Wa Kazi is a Kenyan benga rarity by one of the country's leading 70's groups that compiles several of their singles into a standalone album.

Led by the late John Otonde, the group issued nearly two dozen 7” singles between 1976 and the early 1980s.

The album has been remastered by Jason NeSmith at Chase Park Transduction. Art restoration has been completed by Steve Lewin.
