This is actually titled "Skokiaan;" it came out of (then) Rhodesia in the '40s. Louis Armstrong heard it when he toured Africa in the late '50s, brought it back and recorded it himself. Since then everyone from Bert Kaempfert to The Four Lads to Kermit Ruffins has covered it.
This is what I love about the KUT audience! I love that we are playing music for people that actually understand some of the history! The spelling is different all over the region, though the original spelling-as you mentioned is Skokiaan, that is in the Ndebele dialect in Southern Zimbabwe. The Shona often say Skokiana. Here's a ton more info on the tune: wikipedia(dot)org/wiki/Skokiaan Check out our page to hear more traditional Zimbabwean tunes! Thank you for listening!

That bare foot! 🥴 I think he may have toe fungus.
Nope, me neither!
How come it took so long for someone to think of Marimbas for this, and it ended up being Americans?!
+Loreman72 I learned it from my teachers in Zimbabwe-so credit where credit is due, we didn't think up the idea. :-)
woah..my thoughts exactly...it was made for marimbas..and mbira also?a kinda Paul Simon moment?
This is Zimbabwean style marimba a guy named Dumi introduced this style of music to America in the late 60s
Why not?
