King Of Bongo Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Cracked Pleasures 

Cover art for King Of Bongo lyrics by Mano Negra

Although less explicit than "Welcome into Occident" and "Letters to the Censors" etc; this song is an outing of dislike of western culture and its false sense of superiority. The song drives on African beats, and the lyrics clearly describe someone seeking his luck in the big cities in the West; concluding that he prefers life as the king without a crown playing his own culture's music in his own place where he feels comfortable.
