[LoetHannes]

[RocBron]

wer kommt auf so ne idee...... :)



[rgthbst]

u made this??

[HateSince88]

I still have this as an 12" vinyl. Must be worth a fortune ;-)

[jrmhrpr]

Seriously what up with the electric sounds? Lame...

[eamles]

I had the original on 7". One side had just the drums and the other included the organ. I did prefer just the drums and used it in a school assembly. mixing cultures a bit, we developed a hacker to go with the tune to present information about Burundi culture and the wars that were going on. it was in the middle of Basildon and it made a grandmother cry, because she had family there.

[cookie5455]

@jrmhrpr this is the 80s version.

[kurtelie]

stop this.... u are just killing our culture... respect man...

[johndidierkong]

don't like it. want just the drums, no keyboard and whatnot. i'm outta here looking for some proper vid...

[inskiller]

[Lahcen78]

The mix made it nice! but i prefer the original version!

[frazer980]

coolo ! la music est trop bien.. merci de l'avoir mise! !!

[lostprophetplyr]

awesome.

i tried to find that song 3 years ago. there were just 2 acceptable uploads of it on youtube.

very nice

[Polynema]

So now I see where did Yasushi Ishii took the music from. "Gentenkaiko Ryhthm Nation", give it a check, sounds good too

[donutbrain]

SuperCool - thanks a lot!

[kaer1001]

that's suck!!!it doesn't sound good!!

[lolligerjoj1]

@kaer1001 well, you are suck too...

no one forced you to hear this.

[hippojuice23]

So where does the jungle line by Joni Mitchell come into play here? Same track?

[carot2003]

I brought this record in the late 70's down norfolk street in wisbech after being told by the record shop owner that this track inspired ant & the ants drumming style (when he was doing dog eat dog etc, not with the later prince charming kak). I do like this track, good to hear it again, but it does sound a bit agressive. Cheers ...

[mhjfhyu]

bonjour du perou

je grandi en amerique

y me gusta su pais y por cierto mas porque es francofono y su cultura

[Walter09S]

Meister! BURUNDI! Nix Benin!

Oder werdet ihr in Burundi als 37. Frau eines Stammeskönigs gehandelt?

[ib7tka]

excellent!!

[ditje8]

Iemand heeft mijn maxi-single meer dan 20 jaar geleden geleend en nooit terug gegeven.

Baal er nog steeds van!

[MrPitchball]

Very good

[stripes5150]

def leppard = rocket inspiration

[everymatt]

yeah - but adam and the ants beat them to the punch at least half a decade previously.. 'dog eat dog' etc..

[stripes5150]

@everymatt

true....props

[gordieranger]

actually, Adam and the Ants, through the agency of Malcolm McLaren, stole this sound from the Royal Drummers of Burundi long ago. The original recordings date to the late 60's and were used by Adam and the Ants, and others (like bow wow wow).

[everymatt]

my reply was to the comment about def leppard. but just to be clear - no, I didn't think that adam and the ants came up with the idea before an ancient tribe of drummers.

[NormanSykes]

excellent!

[LoetHannes]

cheta grarrgh bundolo :)

[MrAmbassadeur]

kazi ipo

[dylyluv]

hey!

[parnell24]

Very heavy! Thanks for posting.

[bvdwal]

i have been breaking my head over the title for a few weeks now. and now i finally found it again! this is such a gorgeous record. realising the original is almost 40 years old ... wow ...

[steveO84413]

played this at my wedding 35 years ago & at my retirement 2 years ago, wife still dont like it. I LOVE IT

[batse1]

That's funny man!

[NormanSykes]

amazing, sounds fresh still

[frobsey]

this is the weak version mine sounds so much better, think this is the b side with outside music added

[teddy54BS]

Ich verabscheue Disco, wenn ich jetzt lese, damit hat die scheiß Disco Welle angefangen, das Stück habe mir seit ca. 40 Jaheren immer mal wieder von einer zerkratzten Single angehört, ist wohl tatsächlich Disco, bin nachdenklich :-(

[terminatortiger]

YES I love this song since 1980

[quentinvangansberghe]

Je suis blanche, née de par mon père et ma mère blanche... mais j'ai toujours,depuis ma naissance, quelque chose de noir ou de tribal dans mon sang.

Et Burundi Black que j'ai dans mes tripes ... m'a si souvent manqué !!!

J'aime la version ici mais préfère encore plus la version premier sans arrangement musical ... la version première quoi.

Suppose God is Black ! Why not ?

[AequitasAUT]

they havent heard of being open minded...whatever

[p107220]

Is schon OK :-)

Gibt's das irgendwo als mp3? Hab schon lange gesucht und net gfunden.

[RammlerRudi]

lad es halt bei youtube runter

[lordmatula]

Echt KLasse Scheibe...

[atotalblamblam]

I have this single from the late sixties / early seventies. At that time I had never heard of Burundi (music/country whatever) this did at least put it on the map. I am from Scotland and have had to put up with similar treatment of traditional bagpipe music, but have learned not to take it personnaly.

[mis1989]

@atotalblamblam i hope you realize how ignorant you sound when you say things such as "At that time I had never heard of Burundi (music/country whatever) this did at least put it on the map."

Have you ever heard of Geography? I guess not...

[atotalblamblam]

@mis1989 get over yourself luv. you heard of every single country in the world? no? so that makes you a hypocrite.

[einblenden]

machs schon allet richtich aequi!!!mein vatter hat die schallplatte seit ner ewigkeit!!!

[AequitasAUT]

le mir scheiß egal!!! wenns euch nicht taugt dann hörts es euch net an.

if you dont like it dont listen to it. and obviously you are too dumb to understand that i havent done anything to the song...this version is fuckin 40 years old.

[originalwaggy]

... too right mate, this is an absolute cult classic. Had this in 1971 when it was released in the UK. I only managed to get a decent vinyl 45 copy from ebay last year. Whilst Gary Glitter is now a complete arsehole it did inspire him in 1971 to record another classic drum rythem, Rock & Roll parts 1 & 2.

PS I doubt if many people would have even heard of Burundi let alone it's great music if it wasn't for this recording, absolutey 'kin brilliant!

[susanshelit]

@AequitasAUT Le mir scheiss egal. LOL, I like that one, gonne remember it :D

Its like: Fucken Sie auf, ja :D

LOLOLOLOL

Thank you :D

[Happel49]

[geschae]

[haudace]

now i know ur joking but i wonder really how you processed your thought before commenting and after.

[haudace]

OMG, i will call the burundian police and you will be hacked in pieces with a machete.

[divanova07]

Oh my freaking gosh, Aequitas, I am from Austria too, and I extremly appreciate that you enriched the world with this music here! It is like, yeah, I am so proud of an Austrian again, after digesting Waldheim, Haider and Schwarzenegger.... :-)

[homedrumming]

[stimmy66]

originaly released early 70,s Burundi Black by Burundi Stephenson Black on Barclay record label.First heard it on RNI(Radio North sea International) and it still sounds MAGNIFICENT.Spread the word.

[taeby111]

THANK YOU!!

I heard this song decades ago during my wild clubbing (the Meddle, Wipperfuerth). I never got hold of any recording, this is great.

[flaxenmane]

Love both versions, thought the original was just drums and this one was by Titanic, or called Titanic? I'm getting old!!!

[AequitasAUT]

HOW TO GET YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON YOUR HD (with Internet Explorer):

go to the desired video and wait until the video is downloaded completely (until red bar is fully loaded) and then press

EXTRAS -> Internet Options -> Browser Progress (where you also can set cookies, etc) and go to Settings. There you can press on "Show Data". Explorer window opens and now you have to arrange it by size. Compare the name of the datas with the URL of the video and do copy and paste. Rename to Filename.flv HF

[christmasinlarnaca]

J'adore, y-at-il moyen d'en obtenir un copie?

[gordiemilan]

that song inspired def leppard and out came the song rocket

[darksquirrel93]

brilliant :D

[nossie10]

This is where adam ant got antmusic and kings of the wild frontier from

[djkenny707]

this it is my people me like them too much respect frankly the guys

[divanova07]

LOOOOOOOVE IT! searched for a long time!

[cyca67]

so pleased to hear this again i remember it from early seventies played on radio,,

[ShibbyMcPott]

Das Ding lief früher sogar zwischen Downset und Deftones in der Rockfabrik. Sehr geiles Teil.

[YELLEMDML]

Most impressive indeed!

[tribun100]

Dieses Lied hab ich gehört als ich Mitte 20 J. war.

Sehr geil.

[abudun89]

Super!!!!

[DBartrup]

I haven't heard this version before - just the drums on their own. Still love it though.

Was too young in the 70's to appreciate good music then.

[cockneysontour]

Great to hear this on here. I'm been waiting for it for ages too. This is in fact the a-side and the b-side was just the drums which was played on the radio and the clubs. Now what we need is someone with original single to put it on here!

[nippysweetie3]

my husband was just telling me about hearing this group in the 70's, so thought I'd youtube it...and sure as eggs are eggs......!

[starfiremale]

Thank god someone put the best version of this on here. Cheeeeeeeeers!!

[smartieclarky]

I also this in the seventies. It still sounds great.

[wmeisel]

I have been patiently waiting, assuming sooner or later someone would post this on youtube. Thanks for doing it.

[leelapup]

Bought this on a 45 in the 70s, thought I was the only one. Burundi Stephenson Black.

[askeurope]

me, too ! all black 45 rpm. bought it however (second hand) in the 80ties. Thanks for posting. I've been waiting for so long to see the song on youtube
