Africa Talks To U

Forgive me if this has been posted before, truly. I just recently heard a song titled "Africa Talks To U". It is a bootleg I'm sure. I love it. Jammin' at it best. It sounds like it was taken from a jam session during the mid 80's. I am not sure though, that the title of the song is correct. If anyone knows if that is the correct title please let me know. If I am wrong correct me.

Here is what he says before the song starts. He is talking to the what sounds like a very small crowd and says, "We ain't as good as the band that was up here but we just going to just you know, get loose in a groovy noose. The music wasn't no good on the the other side so we just ahh.. Then he plays a cool guitar riff. The song continues with him playing guitar, the band jams right along with him for about two minutes then he sings,"Must be love for you, silly lady." Now I think that what he says. Oh, at one point during the song he tells Bobby to "break it way down."

If you know it share your thoughts. If that is not the title let me know what the right one is. And if I need to crawl from under my rock and join the "dawn", again, let me know.

Thanks fam!

Thanks for confirming. You were right, I guess, to say mpls. From what I was told it was taken from a session at The 7th Street Entry, Minneapolis, late October 1984.
