Rumba moves East

Many Congolese musicians, displaced by civil wars in the 1960s, migrated East from Katanga, Kivu and Shaba provinces. Others followed in the 1970s, looking for work when there seemed to be a surfeit of great bands at home. They adapted to the club scenes in Kampala, Nairobi, and Dar Es Salaam, where they attracted a huge following. Though essentially Congolese rumba (& like a lot of African pop at the time, riffing off the famous GV series of Cuban sones issued on 78 rpm since the 30s), their music did not evolve in the same way as the Congolese variety and instead picked up currents from Benga guitarists, Taraab vocalists, and other East & Southern African styles. Hugh Tracey made a recording trip in 1950 and captured mostly traditional music. His recording of the Chipukizi Rumba Band doing a Cuban imitation, "Dada mwajuma," on kazoo and penny whistle can be heard on THE TANZANIA SOUND (Original Music OMCD018). In the 1960s bands had to travel to Nairobi to record. But by the mid-1970s Radio Tanzania was recording many bands for broadcast, and their archives became a source for recordings (though depredations and decay have left them in a less-than-ideal state today).

part I. FLATIM & AHADI label cassette tapes published in Nairobi

I wrote to East African music expert Doug Paterson seeking information on the FLATIM cassettes which I have been collecting, and which are a source for this wonderful sound. In my e-mail I suggested the tapes were badly mastered. He replied:

"Badly mastered? Surely you jest? The cassettes have gone through a rigorous controlled process starting with duplication of the original one track tape from Radio Tanzania, the creation of a cassette master at the Nairobi's Valley Road Pentecostal Church (an actual studio), and then home duplication on Livingstone Amaumo's comsumer grade cassette recorder on blanks from no-name Asian manufacturers. At least that was the process back in 1988.

"Since then Livingstone actually uses professional tape duplicators who aren't too bad. The quarter inch tape masters (duplicates) were always a bit dicey but the rest of the process really took its toll."

In another message, Doug explains the acronym: "FLATIM stands for (the late) Franklin Livingstone Amaumo and Tido Dunstan Mhando. Tido, former head of the BBC Swahili Service and now head of TUT (Tanzania's state-owned radio and television services), was once Livingstone's Tanzanian partner in FLATIM."

With some information gleaned from Professor Endo's site (which was compiled by Doug Paterson), I have started a discography of East African dance bands based on my own collection. Lists marked [DP] kindly provided by Doug Paterson. Thanks also to John Beadle [JB], Nick Dean. Gilbert Hsiao, Paul Johnston, John McLaverty, Peter Toll. Many of the songs are designated as "parts 1 & 2," but I have omitted this in the titles. Many of the bands have "Jazz" in their name -- this is a reference to the All-Powerful OK Jazz of Franco rather than the American style of music.
