Yes, that bongo solo is a lot of fun, and it could totally be looped two or three times! I also enjoyed the power and contrast of the brass and organ sections.
Here’s the link to the original song:

''Apache' by The Incredible Bongo Band was the seed that started the BBoy Breakdance & Hip-Hop revolution in NY in the late 70's

@Ulexcool Ай бұрын

This is a breakdance anthem. You could not escape from hearing this song in every hiphop jam in the 80s and 90s.

@marysweeney7370 Ай бұрын

It sounds to me like that song "jump on it". Well, I look it up and see that all of these years I was listening to Apache only by the Sugar Hill Gang. Wow. I did not know this song had such a life.

The whole Bongo Rock album is excellent. Many, many samples pulled from those songs.

For Amy's "covers" series may I suggest Big Mama Thortons original recording of "Hound Dog" ( though she didn't write it ) and then Elvis Presley's version which came out a few year later.

Once again I am amazed by the unique perspective on something familiar.

If you want to see a song being transformed, try the original 1937 Robert Johnson version of "Crossroads" (or "Cross Road Blues"), and then the live version on the Cream's 1966 album Wheels Of Fire. You will also see what Eric Clapton was known for earlier in his career.

Actually, the best Cream live version is Royal Albert Hall 2005 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/equDZa6A1pu3n3k.html

They have chucked everything at it haven't they---including the kitchen sink. Sometimes simple is best. Not as good as The Shadows IMO.

@grahamtravers4522 Ай бұрын

Yep. Very successfully lost the melody completely.

@ericq9049 Ай бұрын

The whole album is brilliant. It's basically a group of very talented and prolific studio musicians, who are simply having fun on a record. People should watch the documentary Sample This, which covers the creation of the band, and this song's transition into the rise of hip hop and beat looping. There is one moment in this recording, however, where there is a poor punch-in. My recording engineer ears can never unhear it.

Sample This is a brilliant documentary.

Played keyboards in an instrumental band for some time. Played a lot of organ on surf and blues music. Always been a fan of progressive bands like Yes and ELP that use a lot of organ.

@DavidSuit-jj8ci Ай бұрын

Out of context but Apache was the song tht inspired George Martin's desire to find a Rock and Roll band. I E. The ' Beatles '

@jamespeatling7660 20 күн бұрын

‘Apache drop out’ is an incredible rewrite of two songs - and might be an introduction to Captain Beefheart.

@apefu Ай бұрын

There are two drum breaks used heavily in hip-hop pre 2000: The Amen Break (from the b side Amen Brother) and the Apache Break. The Amen Break is a pretty common sample to use even today. It's a shame the Amen Break has fallen out of fashion.

@vodkaman1970 Ай бұрын

I prefer the Shadows version because funk just isn't really my thing but I have to give them credit for radically transforming it. A lot of covers try to too closely mimic the original making them a bit pointless.

thanks... i really like the incredible bongo band... the rolling stones cover it´s great too!

@Mi5terMarc Ай бұрын

Personally, I like this version better than the Shadows version. Jorgen Ingmann (a Danish guitarist) had a good cover of it as well.

Apache the gift that keeps on giving? Try The SKADOWS version/cover next please? It's a lot of fun.

Please consider "Cathedrals" by Jump, Little Children. I'm asking that you give it 20 seconds, and see if it hooks you :) Thanks for the great reviews.

The feature of instruments answering each other comes from "The Ventures" version, if you wanna go down the rabbit hole of 50's great rock guitar bands check them out as well as Link Wray

The first successful rap group sugerhill gang did a cover of this probably the most famous version of the song. You should try it

A fine album although I prefer 'let there be drum' (another cover). If you can get hold of the Grandmaster Flash remix version - it will give you a good insight into how this track is so revered in the hip-hop style. To b e fair - your reading to much into this. It's just a record producer trying to make MONEY.

@rogerwitte Ай бұрын

While happenstance influences everything I wonder if 'Apache' isn't contributing more to its success than you give it credit for. If you ever see pictures of top supermodels without make up you will see they have peculiar neutrality to their beauty. Their faces are very symmetric and well proportioned but they are a blank canvas on which the make up artist can portray any style whatsoever with equal success. So I wonder if Apache's melody is such a 'blank canvas'; able to support decoration any musical style that performers choose.

Drugs, in the 70's there were plenty of bands who did breaks, it was for their 12 inch singles. Supposedly George Harrison participated on this song. Almost all pop bands in the late 70's had dance remixes. There was a whole culture going on. You don't believe me? Google John Belushi in SNL's Samurai Night Fever.
