Afric Simone: drummer, singer and entertainer. This showman sets about every new task with the same joy and enthusiasm. He is, in fact, predestined for his job because he has musical feeling and the ability to captivate the public. He is very self-assured on stage and, above all, he has experience.
He grew up in Mozambique on the East coast of Africa. He appeared on stage in the capital Lourenco Marques, and a manager asked him to come to London. For someone who had his first contact with Western show business in London he has gathered invaluable experience for appearances in other European capitals. Afric Simone’s manager soon discovered his real talents.
Afric Simone who, besides speaking German, English, Portugese, French and various African languages, simply said to himself “language can’t be a problem if the rhythm, the music and the sound are right.” This idea resulted in a very special mixture of his own native tongue and European Happy Sound . “Ramaya” was one of the many titles, made it to the top of the charts in Holland, no. 2 in France, and is sung everywhere in South America.
