These chaps are the Juwata Jazz Band. This is what they look like.
Answers.com tells us a little about them -
The hard driving, brass-dominated, sounds of the Juwata Jazz Band has been an influential musical force in East Africa for more than three and a half decades. Formed under the auspices of the National Workers' Union and funded by the Tanzanian government, the group has continued to inpire audiences with their exciting improvisations. The Juwata Jazz Band has gone through several name changes.While Saidi Mabera, a solo guitarist and composer who joined in 1973, directed the group in the 1980s, his role was taken over by Maalim who rejoined the band, along with Bitchuka, in 1991. Other prominent band members are trumpet player and vocalist Joseph Lusungu and saxophonist Mnenge Ramadhani, who joined in 1966, and lyricist, vocalist, second guitarist and bassist, Moshi Williams. While Tanzania has a very limited recording industry, the Juwata Jazz Band is one of many bands that record once or twice a year at the studios of Radio Tanzania Dar Es Salaam.
They sound like this -
With late eighties Zimbabwean jit performers The Four Brothers - so called because they weren't related. The title means "It's Only love" - the singer is explaining to his girlfriendthat his childish and unsettled behaviour is all because he is crazy about her.

Thanks Baudolino. This must be a later recording but just as good. The other one looked like early 80s maybe. But thanks for the post. How versed are you in east African pop. I saw the Tanzania post.. Does the psychedelic influence distinguish the Eritrean Music? What were they watching Giallo films?
