Afric Simone - "Ramaya" [1975]
Dertig jaar geleden: "De soep is aangebrand!"
Het is vandaag al dertig jaar geleden dat Anja Yelles sensatie veroorzaakte in “De Droomfabriek” met haar zes jaar oude hit “De soep is aangebrand!” Continue reading Dertig jaar geleden: “De soep is aangebrand!”
Afric Simone - Hafanana (Remix 2016)
Quizá mi favorita del mozambiqueño Afric Simone, aunque no estoy seguro. “Tucanara (African Opera)” está muy bien, pero “Piranha” es más divertida. Un afortunado y cachondón cruce de afro-funk y glam rock setenteros con latigazo cutrelectrónico.
Simone hacía una curiosa mezcla siempre ultracomercial, que en sus momentos más afortunados recuerda a T.Rex y en los más infames a Georgie Dann. Como este último, Afric Simone se caracterizaba por un incondicional optimismo vital refrendado seguramente por unos bolsillos bien llenos, que fenómeno.
Como dice con claridad el estribillo de la canción: “Chachi- chachi piraña”. Bien.
How did I only just find this?
