Afro Blue
Composed by Mongo Santamaria (1959)
Lyrics by Oscar Brown
Afro Blue
Dream of a land my soul is from
I hear a hand stroke on a 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
