"Dyambo" by Hugh Masekela

My love for world music began at an early age. I remember my dad listening to Astrud Gilberto and Perez Prado while mom's favorite record in the 70s featured Jewish style "Jesus Music" by a Messianic group called Lamb. As I got older I discovered world artists on my own. Balkan, African, and Arabic music found it's way into my collection.

Most people know Hugh Masekela for his 1968 hit "Grazin' in the Grass". This 1971 tune, subtitled "Weary Day is Over", is fun for rocking out. Makes me wish Vladimir's Universe had a horn section!
