Comment:

This is the first in a series of mixes featuring world music and music inspired by world music. "Mbube" is the name of the song that was the original "Lion Sleeps Tonight" -- it means "lion" and was originally recorded in 1939 by Solomon Linda's Evening Birds, in South Africa. This mix starts from there and goes all over.

Reminiscant of Marlin Perkin's "Wild Kingdom" which I used to watch faithfully some years ago.. Snoozing in the recliner, Sunday afternoon to the sounds of wild creatures and soft african sounds..
