I don’t know quite how they did this, but thank god for African music and dance…..without African rhythms we’d all be listening to Scottish and Irish folk music, German polkas and beer drinking songs…instead of rock and roll, r&b, blues, jazz the whole wonderful synergistic musical tapestry we have here…..now the Africans have given the megahit a little African spin……and look at the joy, the energy, the colorful attire…..why did we all get stuck with grays and business suits anyway….?
