Letta Mbulu - What is Wrong With Groovin'
This one, written by Hugh Masekela, is an old favorite track of mine that I used to play weekly at Local 16 on U St in DC. I'm not even sure where this track first appeared, but it was recorded in 1967 and thanks to Jazzman Gerald Short of Jazzman Records, it was re-released in 2001. I got it off this comp called Ouelele - Another Collection of Modern Afro Rhythms, off of Comet Records.
Letta Mbulu was born and raised in South Africa. In 1965 she left for the States and went on to work with David Axelrod, Cannonball Adderly, and Harry Belafonte.
Amazing song, can't hear it enough.
