I still believe that the exotic jungle groove from mr. bo is a subject that should be discussed here in the music section. He did create a beat that "has the sultry, sexual power of Africa" (Iggy Pop). Aren't there parallels to Witcos Jungle Room or Denny's Afrodesia? If you make a list with African/Jungle related exotica things from the 50s.. will you exclude the bo beat?

I wouldn't include Bo on an classic exotica mix cd but I would include him on a mix that goes into the 'Jungle Exotica Comp direction' of mid and up tempo novelty exotica rock'n'roll tunes..

I am still searching on anything that has something from the bo beat that was created before Bo (in the latin / African etc. music field) but I still couldn't find anything. Anyone?

bo had an exotic spirit...
