FROM KITIME MUSIC ARCHIVE FILES -GALLO AFRICA KENYA BRANCH

 

I have always wondered how East and Central  African musicians released their music under the South African Gallo label. Here is a letter from Gallo South Africa to my father in reply to a letter which he wrote them from Iringa Tanzania on 19th November 1959, wanting  to released his music under the label. Now we know that Gallo Africa did have a branch in Nairobi. Fortunately I do also have a copy of the reply my father received  from the Mr. H. Hattersley of Gallo Africa Nairobi Branch.
Its fortunate that these documents are still available. History is a good teacher.
