Don't you just love a good piece of 'benga' ? Tonight's post
brings us this wonderful album by Orchestre Sega Sega.
I didn't get much wiser about them on the web, maybe
you are able to tell us something more ? I do know I like
this LP very much. Names that appear are; Odhiambo
Ossumbah, Osumba Rateng, Peter Owiso, Alego Ogwanjo,
Silvester Odhiambo and Okech Ombasa. I especially like
the vocal contributions here, less highly pitched harmonies
but more basic and spoken parts increase the atmosphere.
tracks;
1 Dala Ber Moloyo no.11
2 Ka Iduaro Kendo pt.1
3 Ka Iduaro Kendo pt.2
4 Patricia Atieno
5 Loko Ngech
6 Jomoko Chamo Jochan
7 Adhiambo P. pt.1
8 Adhiambo P. pt.2

Hello Moos,
I just seen your post about the "Kenya partout! vol. 6".
As all my Luo family, I don't know nothing about "Orchestre Sega Sega".
I just can tell to you that "Sega" is a place in North of Siaya District in Kenya and confirm that all the artist names are Luo names.
"Sega Sega" is a common doubling custom in dholuo but I can't understand this meaning.
I was just knowing the tittle "Jomoko Chamo Jochan" (a must!) by Odhiambo Ossumbah who recorded in solo and with the "Golden Ugenya Boys" for "Sokota" Label (now "Vedi's Label"). Maybe this "Orchestre Sega Sega" is a temporary band formed for the occasion.
The "Orchestra " or "Orchestre" (in French style) appellation is a Nairobi typical appellation, the traditional appellation in Luoland is "Band" or"Jazz Band" or "Boys".
Afficted to be undefined but, perhaps, that's going to open the debate.

when I was a teenager some 25 years ago, a friend of mine used to make these great compilation tapes - one song was ORCHESTRE SEGA-SEGA's Patricia Atieno - awesome music! - I own KENYA PARTOUT VOL.5 (ORCHESTRE INTERNATIONAL DE NELLY) - If someone wants to trade Vol.6 for Vol.5: get in touch!
