---|---|
Artist | Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force |
Album | Planet Rock - The Album |
Release Date | 1984 |
Description | The fourth single from Bambaataa and crew was released in the infamous year 1984, and this is the first credited appearance of Bambaataa’s alias “ Shango ” mentioned in earlier vocals. Like the Politically charged previous single “Renegades of Funk ”, this track has a more cultural feel although more subtle(except for the title). While less dance-able and popular than most Bambaataa singles this is feel-good thinking mans music. |
