1994: River Ocean – Love & Happiness (Yemaya Y Ochùn)

Huge tribal-ly Latino house opus by MAW’s Louie Vega from which India’s soaring vocals immediately became a sampler’s favourite (appearing on a couple of Jungle tracks that same year as well as on Vega’s own co-production with Eric Morillo, ‘Reach’, the next year). A video exists in my mind similar in style to Los Lobos’s ‘Kiko And The Lavender Moon’ but with added elephants, dancing and rotating symbols.

Track also features on Ultramix 94 (part 07) altho I only just noticed that the Flash-based audio players on the Ultramix site don’t seem to work with the new version of Firefox (but they’re fine in IE) – will try and sort that out ASAP.
