O Sifuni Mungu [7-inch single]

Description

O Sifuni Mungu is a 7-inch vinyl single by the American vocal trio First Call (Melodie Tunney, Bonnie Keen, as well as Marty McCall of Fireworks fame), released on DaySpring Records in 1987, a division of Word (catalogue number 672257 DJ). The track (though a shorter edit) was taken from the group’s full-length album Somethin’ Takes Over released on DaySpring Records the same year, produced and recorded by David Maddux and Neal Joseph. The track was co-written by David Maddux and Marty McCall with translation by Asukulu ‘Yunu Mukalay and Mmunga Mwenebulongo Mulongoy.

First Call gets a little help from their friends, African brothers Mas 1 and Mas 2, on «O Sifuni Mungu», a cross between the Nylons and Paul Simon’s ‘Graceland’, that gives «All Creatures of Our God and King» a Swahilian twist. [Warren Anderson, CCM, January 1988]
