zunguzunguzunguzeng

Endelig har Wayne funnet ut hvor "zunguzunguzunguzeng" fra King Yellowman låta er fra. Hvis man har følgt med bloggen hans har man lagt merke til at han har gravd overalt for å finne det ut, han har vært innom at det kunne stamme fra Afrika og swahili, men.. sjekk heller bloggen Wayne&Wax for hele historien om zunguzunguzunguzeng (nederst på siden der finner du link til de andre zunguzung innleggene) eller hør audioklippet med intervjuet til Brent Hagerman med Yellowman under videon.

"zunguzungunguzunguzeng, you shouldn’t trouble Mr. Manley, boy."

"That someone is Brent Hagerman, a PhD student in religion and culture writing a dissertation about Yellowman which, as he put it via email, “reads” his slackness “in terms of his Rastafarian faith.”

Here’s what Brent had to say about “[Zungu]Zung”:

I asked him once about Zung and he told me that he got the melody/phrasing from a Michael Manley political rally — similar to your Cutty Ranks clip, I assume, except it must have been earlier.

If you think that’s a revelation, you’ve got to hear the story for yourself. Many thanks to Brent for sharing it with me and allowing me to share it with you (and thx much to King Yellow too, of course!):"
