Description

This collection of African 78s came from new deadstock that was sitting in the garage of a former African record store owner for decades. 
Yaseen Mohamed and Mimi (Saada) were husband and wife Taarab singers from Mombasa, Kenya. Taarab music was brought to Zanzibar through its ruler, by way of Egypt in the late 1800's. It subsequently became popular along the coast of Tanzania and Kenya. Taarab 78s are exceedingly difficult to find, and even more so in this condition.
These recordings are directly from this disc up for auction:

I am primarily a collector of international 78s, and due to an upcoming move have to thin out my collection. I will be putting up new 78s every Sunday night for at least the next few weeks. Please check out my YouTube channel to hear recordings of the discs that are here for sale. Thanks, and good luck!
