    Afro Blue - vocal Mongo Santamaria 1959
    Dream of a land my soul is from
    I hear a hand stroke on the drum
    Shades of delight
    Cocoa hue
    Rich as the night
    Afro blue
    Elegant boy
    Beautiful girl
    Dancing for joy
    Delicate whirl
    Shades of delight
    Cocoa hue
    Rich as the night
    Afro blue
    Two young lovers dance face to face
    With undulating grace
    They gently sway
    Then slip away
    To some secluded place
    Dream of a land my soul is from
    I hear a hand stroke on the drum
    Shades of delight
    Cocoa hue

The black people who escaped or were supposedly free could not just run east to New York City, Boston or way west to southern California or even up to Canada, those black people throughout the Spanish colonies were more stranded or had geographically limited options, i.e., the ocean. That's just my own theory.

      I suppose it’s like everything. When the genre speaks to you, you notice and enjoy the nuances, and when it doesn’t it just sounds or looks the same and therefore boring... It’s as if you like brunette women you notice how delightfully different they are, but if you’re into blondes then every brunette looks the same to you and can’t pique your interest.
