Fact #79199
When:
Short story:
Burundi
Black by Burundi-Steiphenson-Black enters the UK singles chart where it will peak at No31 during a
fourteen-week run on the chart. Burundi-Steiphenson-Black is, however, a psuedonym for French musical arranger and filmscore
composer Michel Bernholc, who has simply grafted a rock arrangement over
the top of a field recording of Burundi Drummers of the Ingoma tribe made
in East Africa. The same rhythm will subsequently be sampled for
tracks by Joni Mitchell, Adam And The Ants, Bow Wow Wow, The Beastie Boys and others.
