All Africa Lyrics by Max Roach

We Insist! Max Roach’s Freedom Now Suite

0

The beat has a rich and magnificent history
Full of adventure, excitement, and mystery
Some of it bitter, and some of it sweet
But all of it part of the beat, the beat, the beat
They say it began with a chant and a hum
And a Black hand laid on a native drum
