| QUOTE (AShruleEgan @ 02-Apr-2014, 12:39 PM) | | I would check with the department that handles the music at the park. Somebody there is doing the daily programming. |
lol I did. I walked in there and finally found someone (I had to leave a few messages on the phone). The two people in there told me they didn't know what it was, that the music program selected for the Ireland section of the park was put together in 2001, and apparently (as far as they knew) there wasn't a record of what the songs are (strangely enough). But they were going to check with a person in the department who is apparently in the know about it, and perhaps that will solve the question.
So I'm hoping time will tell! Again, it's just surprising to me that, this being a tune/song (well, a tune with some African chanting in it) that otherwise is very Irish/Celtic, that it's just a darned mystery. And I've posted to other forums asking the same question! |

(probably has a few African instruments in it too...but I haven't listened closely enough to verify any) |

That's very kind of you, thank you! I just went through every single Afro Celt Sound System song I could find on YouTube, and not a single one comes close.
The song isn't fast, and it's not terribly slow either. It has bodhran, uillean pipes, fiddle, etc., and is of about moderate pace, and is a bit new-age-ish in style (which would, naturally, suggest ACSS). I'm not even sure the words being chanted are "jumba jumba", or "jamba jamba" or some alternative version thereof, but they are chanted rhythmically (and not too fast) throughout the song.
Sadly, I had no other luck with any other videos on YouTube either. And Amazon.com, like I said before, is no help at all. And it seems the "Entertainment Department" at Busch Gardens is the probable answer to this question, though they are not exactly rushing to answer my question (and I've had to leave messages). lol Of course, I still want to give them the benefit of the doubt. For now. |

Thanks, haynes9! I haven't had much of a chance (yet) to look around, but I plan to when there's some time. This search, meanwhile, has so far been fruitless, and BG is a bit slow following up. But I intend to find this out!
I tried Afro Celt Sound System, but every song I found in their repertoire doesn't seem to fit (at least from 30 second samples I have been able to play online). But I know there are other possibilities. The question is who. And why, oddly, when I type in "afro celt music, lyrics, 'jumba jumba' ", I get only links to either Afro Celt Sound System (with no specific song references) and also song references to Indian and other totally extraneous material "(Jumba Wumba", "Chumbawamba", "Jamba Juice", etc. lol).
It's very depressing that this thing remains so apparently elusive. But I know I heard it once or twice before, on some small radio station doing an international folk music or Celtic show, before hearing it at BG. So it's out there...somewhere.
I figured that coming here would turn up more opportunities to solve this puzzle than elsewhere. But it seems, so far, that I am on the losing end. |

Thanks, Shadows! Well, no, I haven't asked them just yet. But that would be my next course if nobody can help here. I figured this place might be a good way to start though. Tracking down information like that through the park is actually harder than you might think. lol |

Hey everyone! I have just joined the site hoping to find some help with a specific tune I have heard. I work as a staff member at the Busch Gardens theme park in Williamsburg, Virginia. In the Ireland section of the park, they broadcast Irish folk music of various kinds (and artists). One of the ones I heard, which I enjoy immensely, is a mix of Irish folk music with African rhythms. It contains only two words, uttered over and over in the tune: "jumba jumba" (or perhaps "jamba jamba"...not sure of the spelling).
I can find nothing regarding this awesome song/tune on the internet anywhere. Can anyone help me to identify the name of it, and the artist? I'd really appreciate any help! Thanks! |
