Singing with San, the oldest inhabitants of southern Africa.

I had to come up with an idea quickly. It was under that same old tree. Children were gathering fast, they were already clapping, and dancing but still waiting for me to play. What to play?

It came as lightning to my brain. It was an old tune that I have heard just once, as a child, when I was in Croatia camping with other children, when, a slightly older guy than me, from my hometown, started playing this song on guitar. I was digging about it only many years later and found that it is called Sambario and was presented at the San Remo festival in Italy back in 1976, by an Italian singer-songwriter named Drupi. Now, more than 40 years later, we made our own (faster) version here in Namibia with San children and now it's hit here. :)

The San, also known as the Basarwa or Khwe, are the oldest inhabitants of southern Africa where they have lived for at least 20,000 years. ... Their home was the Kalahari Desert, which is now divided between Botswana, Namibia, Angola and South Africa.
