In Agnipath, When Amitabh comes to Mauritius to visit Kancha Cheena, He is
shown driving down gorgeous Mauritius roads and an excellent Swahili song plays
in the background. Bhappi the great has copied certain pieces of that song in
Tamma Tamma.

I have the original version with me, but don't know anything about the song.
Can somebody provide details ? ie name,singer/band etc.

thanks

The song is "yeke yeke" by the Afro-pop band Mory Kante.
Apparently, the band is one of Amitabh Bachchan's favorites, and it
was his idea to use this song as background music for 'Agneepath'.

The song "tamma tamma loge" in 'Thaanedar' is a mixture of
"yeke yeke" and the original "tama tama loge", both by Mory Kante.
Bappi Lahiri has copied some more of their songs in other films, such
as 'Isi ka naam zindagi'.

Ciao,
