Incredible Bongo Band - Bongo Rock [Bonus Tracks]

A series of tracks laid down by relatively anonymous '70s studio musicians, the Incredible Bongo Band, Bongo Rock would gain righteous fame as a hip-hop artifact, one of the first records to be extensively mined for beats. Heads will have no trouble recognizing the opening thumps of "Apache" or "Bongo Rock." Those less interested in the history of another form of music will find this less fascinating, more akin to Persuasive Percussion records than anything else.
