A new sound and no-nonsense lyrics that voiced women's concerns led to performances all over Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda throughout the 70s.While playing a wedding in Nairobi in 1981 Zuhura \u0026amp; Party were approached by the local Polygram studio to record an LP, but the 33rpm record did not catch on - the format was not suited to the tiny portable record players in use in Kenya at the time, and the record industry as a whole collapsed in the wake of the attempted 1982 coup d'e?tat.Only a few records were pressed and have since become collectors' items. Locally the songs survived and remained popular as pirated dubs (first on cassette now on CDR).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Singetema \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Jino la Pembe \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Zizi la Huba \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Hasira Zako \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Wasafiri \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Bado Yuko Hai \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Kisu \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Ya Zamani \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Chungu \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Humvui Alovikwa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
