Omg. Major childhood flashback song for me! I remember my mother & my aunts dancing & singing along to this. Damn, considering this crazy scary corona shit, I'd give anything to teleport out of here back to the 70s.
Thank you so much for sharing. I've been looking for this song n I said to myself check one more time. Good memories. I was a child when this came out.
This song was recorded in late 1975 not long after Lord Shorty had formed his Vibrations International soca band to promote soca music internationally with band members like Ella Andall and Baron among the crew. This version of "Hello Africa" produced and arranged by Lord Shorty the inventor of Soca became the no.1 hit in T&T during the summer of 1976 and was even more popular than the original song by Eddy Grant!
WITH THE PANDEMIC HOLDING STEAD FAST RIGHT NOW.... BLACK LIVES MATTER PROTESTING, HELLO AFRICE WILL KINDA JUST EASE OUR LITTLE PAIN OF SUFFERING. 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

The richness of Ella's voice and the beat. Sweet music that will live forever...

There's a 12 "version of this I'm dying to find. It's by Rudy Grant , who I think is Eddy's brother. Has anyone heard it ? The b side is instrumental.
Used to have it on cassette from the radio. Can’t find it either.
This version is better than the original by Eddy Grant, beautiful memories of my childhood in Cartagena Colombia. I love this song
this version songs better than the original by Eddy Grant
