Vijana Jazz Band

The Koka Koka Sex Battalion

The 2nd of january 1975 was a thursday. Sometime that day, members of the Vijana Jazz band from Tanzania entered the Hi-Fi Studios at Pioneer House on Government Road in Nairobi, and recorded 6 tracks under the pseudonym of the Koka Koka Sex Batillion, Along with Rumba, Kamata Sukuma (grab 'n' push), koka koka was a style of music, but the band's name was a scam. But whatever exactly happened that day, 35 years later we are lucky beneficiaries as two of those cuts are grouped with other hits and rarities of Vijana Jazz to give a fascinating glimpse of the unique energy that was East African music in the mid 1970s as performed by one of the best bands of the time.
