Uboontu (song)

[Balaam's Miracle]

Here's a problem that has been pestering my mind for months:

Years ago, there was a dance hit called "Uboontu" (note the double O), it featured a sample of Desmond Tutu explaining the concept of ubuntu and the word "uboonto" was repeated over and over. But i can't for the life of me remember who the performing artist was.

Can anybody help me remember? Please?

[Balaam's Miracle]

Anyone?

[Balaam's Miracle]

YES!!!! I've finally found it!
The song is by Lucky People Center and is called Ubuuntu, note the 2 "u"'s.

But i can do even better, i've scoured Google and found the following links:

http://dvogonen.dyndns.org/music.php?music=/L.P.C_/Welcome%20To%20Lucky%20People%20Center/

The album it was on is called Welcome To Lucky People Center and was released in 1993.

Yeah, me happy! :)

Hi BM!

I'm sorry I'm seeing this post so late. I was actually going through my old mp3 collection when I came across this track, and as I'm a new user to ubuntu, it struck a chord! I was just about to post this info for anyone interested. My guess is it's no coincidence Tutu -> Mandela -> Mark Shuttleworth, though it would be interesting to see the exact thread.

You can do a wiki search on LPC to get more info, but I suggest you to see their technomentary self-titled, Lucky People Center International:

If you're really interested, you can email them as they are quite friendly, in the ubuuntu spirit.

Happy Ubuntuing!
