Black Savage

Black Savage has been played on NTS shows including Mild Animals, with Kothbiro first played on 30 December 2016.

Black Savage was a 1970s Afro-Rock/psychedelic funk band from Nairobi, Kenya.

Black Savage was group of young college-age Kenyans, namely Barrack Achieng (bass), Job Seda (a.k.a. Ayub Ogada) (percussion), Noel Drury Sanyanafwa (drums), Jack Odongo (keyboards) and Gordon Ominde (Golden Simone) (guitar), most of them were from the Luo tribe. Outside of Kenya their output has been mostly invisible until a reissue and spreading through the internet, but they were quite popular among Nairobi youngsters in the 1970s. Their music was released on an LP and three singles between the mid-'70s and the early 80s, and has remained out of print ever after. The early years of the band, whose members met during their secondary school years in Nairobi, are well described in the liner notes to the 2018 reissue compilation by Afro7.
