Afrikaan Beat - Bert Kaempfert - 1961 - Album - A Swinging Safari - Synthesizer Cover Version

Afrikaan Beat - Composed by Band Leader Bert Kaempfert in 1961. Featured and Released on the Worldwide Hit Album - A Swinging Safari !

Performed here by transgendered keyboard musician - Denise Hewitt - on her Electronic Technics Synthesizer Keyboard in Poly Synthesizer Mode with supporting vocal effects.

Photo in the Opening Titles and Closing Credits of the wild vervet monkey was shot by Denise whilst on a "swinging" touring safari in South Africa in the Valley of Desolation near to the Karoo Town of Graaff Reinet.

I dedicate this recording to the memory of Bert Kaempfert - (born Berthold Kämpfert; 16th Oct 1923 21st June 1980). He was a musical genius - Composer and Band Leader - with a unique creative & compelling style!....
