Zoombai Akoombaia - still Powers up the floor

Submitted by DA on Friday, 18 January 2008No Comment

Now some of you may have seen the video, in case you havent, I guess almost all you will immediately recognize this number with the familiar cultic calls of Zoombai Akoombaia. I still remember this was the hottest number in parties when it got released in early 90’s. First time I heard it, it was in Kuwait, a bunch of kids had performed an amazing dance Arabian dance sequence on this number. At that time I thought it was an Arabian number…

Cult of Snap as this number is better known as, was the brainchild of Snap! And not many of you may know this but Snap! is NOT an African-American group but a German band!! The guys behind Snap are Michael Münzing and Luca Anzilotti but they used aliases Benito Benites and John “Virgo” Garrett III to get a favorable acceptance from the listeners. They had various artists front the vocals like Turbo B and Jackie Harris. Another famous number which is still hot on dance floors around the World is ‘The Power’.

How many of you can repeat the Russian opening of this song?! By the way the Russian line translates into “The American company Transceptor Technologies has started production of the ‘Personal Companion’ computer”. Damn and I thought it had something to do with Sputnik!!
