Incredible Bongo Band (1974) Kiburi - LOST 70s GEMS

From their follow up album The Return of the Incredible Bongo Band, a tight funky percussive unit storm out the gate with this track, apocryphally it could have featured Ringo Starr. Kiburi starts off with an incredible wah wah ed orgasm with funky fuzz tone duck sounds all building up to a strong early Disco vibe similar to Barry White and the Love Unlimited Orchestra combo; their are African ladies singing in graceful ways with a behind the beat guitar groove and full on percussion. The double hit guitar part at the end of every other phrase is very much a early disco trope but the floor is for the various acoustic drums, from xylophone to maracas. Kiburi loosely translates to pride in Swahili and this was a band whose recorded performances stand proud.
