WIMOWEH


Wimoweh - The lion sleeps tonight - Mbube (Zulu for lion)
The record is Solomon Linda's Evening Birds who did the original version back in the 1930's entitled Mbube.

I posted Karl Denvers version on the 1 April 09. Today we have some other versions

Weavers - one version live and one with Pete Seeger
Bert Kaempfert with his orchestral version
A Techno Remix modern version
The Kingston Trio live at The Hungry I in 1959
The incredible octave range of Yma Sumac
