From my long out-of-print children's album "That Lion" (1985). This is a song from East Africa, recorded in the 40s or 50's by George Sibanda. My uncle had this on a 10" record called "African Guitar Music" when I was a kid. This version has 8 tracks recorded in 1 take each, all me (2 banjo, 3 vocal, 3 hand claps). I had this arrangement in my head, but had no idea whether or not it would work until it was recorded.

This is fantastic, Mark. I love the arrangement - the claps, the two banjos that complement each other so well, and the vocals. Can't help but smile listening to it. No doubt you had some serious fun making that!

Gotta be the same as the old Jack Elliott guabi guabi, don't recall who he attributes it to though. Love both versions.

The song is by George Sibanda of what was then Rhodesia, and first appeared on a 1950s 10" LP of African guitar music collected by Hugh Tracy. Jack Elliot and I both learned it from the same source.
