King Of Bongo, 1991
Written by Mano Negra
Mano Negra was a French-Basque-Cuban group active in the 1990s. They sung in a multitude of languages and a dizzying array of musical styles. This song is fairly straight ska, leaning heavily on the horns, with a simple driving beat; it would be indistinguishable from any others on an Interrupters album. Short, sweet, punchy, to the point. Maybe not representative of the group but a fun song.
