Zulu Spear - Back to the Bay

I know a lot of you are going to be like: WTF? Zulu Spear? Who the hell is that??!?!?!

Well, I can't vouch for the longevity of this band, but in the early 90's my brother came home with this CD which he had purchased in downtown Columbus, and I was floored. Granted, there are only about 2 listenable songs on the whole album; correction, there is only this track. Only back to the bay. The rest is shite.

Back to the bay is peppy and upbeat with random African poly-rhythmic beats throughout the song, making it kinda fun in a totally cheesy, nostalgic (at least for me) way. Everything else is hard to listen to. It has a kind of African tribesman harmony going on in nowhere near as cohesive a way as say...Graceland, or even the The Visitor [Audio CD] [Import]. But this one track it worth a listen.

Welcome To The USA
