Repress on black vinyl The original Incredible Bongo Band's "Bongo Rock" is firmly cemented into musical history having provided the oft sampled (and completely irresistible) "Apache" drum break for a million and one producers to cut up. Also known as Michael Viner's Incredible Bongo Band, the project was born in 1972.

Over 3 decades after its inception UK producer, and avid record collector, Shawn Lee was marveling at the fact that there had never been an Indian style, sitar and tabla-heavy, version of the Incredible Bongo Band masterpiece “Apache.” Not content with covering just “Apache,” Lee decided he’d take on the entire Bongo Band debut album, and also two of his favorite tracks from their second album for good measure.
