There are two Juma Muhina albums there, and on a whim I decided to download the other one (Natambua Yesu, the one pictured in this post - but not the one with the selected track, Dada Mwajuma). I'm afraid it wasn't a good whim ... Natambua Yesu is sort of gospel polka Kenyan cheesy organ + guitar music - ok, that does sound good in print, and it's kind of fun, but I don't think it'll stand up through too many listens. I guess that'll teach me always to choose the album with "Dada" in the name... Can anyone recommend other albums from the Orchid/Music Copyright Society of Kenya collection?

Great tracks! Minimalistic disco played with 60's surf guitars. I've been a fan of Arthur Russell for a while already, but now I'm also a fan of Juma Mufina, thanks to this great blog. I agree that there's a sonic resemblance between African guitar music from the late 70's and early leftfield disco & post-punk (check out a band called Liquid Liquid from NY for example, very nice and groovy percussion music).

He makes what he calls "Yoruba soul," a blend of house beats and diasporic sounds from West Africa and Brazil. He's earned acclaim for great house remixes of classic tunes like Salif Keita's "Moussoulou." He also did a fantastic remix/remake of Grant Green's "A Time to Remember" for a Verve series.
