The Near-Sighted Monkey

This song is the reason you’ve come down the rickety stairs into The Near-Sighted Monkey’s Lounge. A song from Mali called ” Utru Horas”  by Orchestra Baobab. It has guided you here to our melancholy happy-hour. Matty G. was the first one to ever put this on the jukebox.

Orchestra Baobab from Senegal, West Africa, created a unique and beautiful music. Their fusing of Cuban and African musics is captured to perfection on this magical moment of recording history from the legendary 1982 session.
(from the album “Pirates Choice”)
