-"Skokiaan" is a popular tune originally written in the 1940s

-name refers to an illegal self-made alcoholic beverage typically brewed over one day that may contain ingredients, such as maize meal, water and yeast, to speed up the fermentation process (african beer)- illegal coz the cac says so

-covered by many artists, The music itself illustrates the mutual influences between Africa and the wider world. Skokiaan" has been adapted to various musical stylings, from jazz to mento/reggae (Sugar Belly and the Canefields), and Rock and Roll. The tune has been arranged for strings (South Africa's Soweto String Quartet) and steel drums (Trinidad and Tobago's Southern All Stars). A merengue version was recorded in the Dominican Republic by Antonio Morel y su Orquesta in the 1950s, with saxophone alto arrangement by Felix del Rosario. A number of reggae versions of the song also exist, and marimba covers are particularly popular.


-Skokiaan's significance is that it shows how Africa influenced American jazz in particular and popular music in general.
