Biography

Formed in 1905, this was one of the very first taraab orchestras and has endured throughout this century with (obviously) a revolving membership. They have performed all over East Africa and in the Gulf states, and some of its members toured the U.K. in 1985 with the National Taraab Orchestra. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
