The Chubukos was an alias used by the LA-based studio group Afrique for the release of two singles. For this particular single, the B-side is a rerelease of an Afrique song of the same name, while the A-side is a novelty funk number that expands on the sound and feel of Afrique’s cover of Manu Dibango’s “Soul Makossa” by taking inspiration from David Seville’s chipmunk-voiced “Witch Doctor”.
The cover art for the German release of this single provides examples of two rarer typefaces: Yum-Yum is used for the artist’s name, while Stagg Shaded is used for the song titles.
