Afric Simone
Afric Simone embodied a certain caricature of African music in the 1970s. The
Mozambican delighted television viewers with his facetiousness and acrobatics,
as much as with his songs "Ramaya" and "Hafanana". His mix of African music and
disco made him number one in Italy in 1975, and famous as far away as the USSR.
It was in the countries of the former Eastern bloc that Afric Simone pursued his
career in the 1980s. Now based in Germany, Afric Simone performs regularly in
Russia, France, Italy and Lithuania.
