When Luo songs were about ladies and not politics

Last week, I paid my rural folks a visit after a fairly long time. There was the usual excitement and no sooner had it died down than I went into my late father's wardrobe and started having a look at his heyday photos.

In the middle of my search, I stumbled upon a collection of several vinyl discs inside an old-fashioned leather briefcase. One by one, I took them out as I read the names of the artists and the titles of their songs. Majority of the albums in the collection were done by Congolese and Luo musicians, although there were a few soul and Christmas collections done by Jim Reeves.
