Artist's Comments

I must credit Solomon Linda for inspiring the title.
Translated Mbube simply means "Lion"

Solomon Linda wrote the song 'Mbube', which reportedly sold over 100,000 copies in Africa. It was later taken and 'Westernised'. In this form it was initially recorded by Pete Seeger and has since become a song most of us would recognise.... 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight'

Please take the time to read the story of Solomon Linda [link] and listen to the original song "Mbube" if you can find it... it is quite beautiful.
