Jimmy Cliff & Lebo M - "Hakuna Matata" (Drum Cover)

Details

Description

"Hakuna Matata" is a song performed by reggae singer Jimmy Cliff, featuring Lebo M. It was produced for the amazing soundtrack "Rhythm Of The Pride Lands" and released in 1995 on Disney Records. This version was made for heavy radio rotation, as it offers a delightful production, pop-reggae drums and an irresistible hookline. The song wars originally written by Elton John for "The Lion King", but I prefer this rendition. One of my fave tracks for drumming!
