 OLATUNJI!
DRUMS OF PASSION
ORIGINAL 1960 1ST PRESSING
12" VINYL RECORD LP
COLUMBIA RECORDS CL 1412 MONO

This hard-to-find original lp, Drums of Passion is an album released by Nigerian percussionist Babatunde Olatunji in 1960. Unquestionably, it was the first recording to popularize African music in the West, becoming immensely successful and selling over five million copies. In 2004, the album was added to the National Recording Registry.
The song "Jin-Go-Lo-Ba" (Drums of Passion) was the most popular song on the album and sold millions of copies, as a single. In fact this simple exchange between the mother drum (iya ilu) and the baby drum 'omele' became Olatunji's signature song. "Jin-Go-Lo-Ba" (or "Jingo") has been covered by Serge Gainsbourg, under the title "Marabout" on his Gainsbourg percussions LP (1964); by Santana on their first album Santana, (1969); by James Last on his album Voodoo-Party (1971); by Pierre Moerlen's Gong on the album Downwind (1979); by Candido Camero in his 1979 "Dancin' & Prancin'" album and by Fatboy Slim on his album Palookaville (2004).

  1. "Akiwowo (Chant of the Trainman)" (3:42)
  2. "Oya (Primitive Fire)" (5:37)
  3. "Odun De! Odun De! (Happy New Year!)" (4:39)
  4. "Jin-Go-Lo-Ba (Drums of Passion)" (3:16)
