A very happy, upbeat song combining the sounds of indie rock and African highlife music. The jangly guitars are supported by deep bass, a simple beat, trumpets, flutes, and groovy percussion (shakers, congas, bongos, woodblocks, etc.). Sounds like Paul Simon, The Talking Heads, and Vampire Weekend. Nice for positive / uplifting / happy scenes.
