Single of the Day – Charanga ’76 – Good Times (Como Vamos A Gozar)
Feeling disappointed and disheartened by the lacklustre start to the World Cup? Fear not dear readers, as this fun-filled cover of a Chic classic will get your World Cup lovin’ mojo back!
Charanga 76’s spaced-out Latin tribute to Nile Rodgers & crew’s finest track was released in 1979 and has a certain touch of class that separates it from your usual run-of-the-mill foreign language disco cover versions. With bustling Cuban percussion, striking strings and a lovely summery echo filled breakdown, this will blast away your thoughts of the Jubulani ball and most importantly, drown out those bloody vuvuzelas (topical!!).

Better than the original…. which I find slightly annoying! More annoying than the vuvzelas!!!
Although, it is better than those quiet German or English stadiums… a bit of atmosphere, like THIS track has got.
SEE WHAT I DID?
I like the vuvuzelas!! and this tune!!
