truly wonderful version. gorgeous vocals. IMO falls short of being THE definitive version because it reduces the afro-cuban 6/8 clave cross-rhythms to a more standardised 4/4 hip-hop/r&b beat. but none the less delightful for all that. [compare original version by Mondo Santamaria with John Coltrane's own version which treats ti as a jazz waltz].
after RM of BTS mentioned how he came up with the idea of featuring erykah badu after listening this song and mentioned her as " she is a king of her own castle" I couldn't stop myself to search and listen to her
Dream of a land my soul is from I hear a hand stroke on the drum Shades of delight Cocoa hue Rich as the night Afro blue Elegant boy Beautiful girl Dancing for joy Delicate whirl Shades of delight Cocoa hue Rich as the night Afro blue Two young lovers dance face to face With undulating grace They gently sway Then slip away To some secluded place Dream of a land my soul is from I hear a hand stroke on the drum Shades of delight Cocoa hue Rich as the night Afro blue Elegant boy Beautiful girl Dancing for joy Delicate whirl Shades of delight Cocoa hue Rich as the night Afro blue Two young lovers dance face to face With undulating grace They gently sway Then slip away To some secluded place Afro blue Afro blue
I have all of Badu's albums, absolutely one of my favorite neo-soul artists of all time. First heard Glasper doing Nirvana's "Come As You Are." Love 'Trane's version on Live at Birdland and Abbey Lincoln's version, but never heard this. WOW! Blown away! Floating effortlessly and vibing us all into a pleasant good feeling.

I love how the flute is played in this song. So cool! Didn’t know flutes have this side of ability
I hope someone sent this to Chris Brown.

why do i feel like my soul sounds exactly like this song
Kim Namjoon brought me here….
Oh yeah just take a thousands of years old AFRICAN ORISHA SONG and Do it in the wrong rhythm ,tempo and feel … surprised if you can sleep at night
Erykah badu is one of the all time greats.
This is the kind of music that the world needs, not this garbage that is put out now that people think is "great".
Buena recomendación de parte de joonie… Me encantó….

There’s something forever special about this..
No ones vocals could ever put me more at ease, We love you Mrs. Badu
Dream of a land my soul is from
I hear a hand stroke on the drum
Shades of delight
Cocoa hue
Rich as the night
Afro blue
Elegant boy
Beautiful girl
Dancing for joy
Delicate whirl
Shades of delight
Cocoa hue
Rich as the night
Afro blue
Two young lovers dance face to face
With undulating grace
They gently sway
Then slip away
To some secluded place
Dream of a land my soul is from
I hear a hand stroke on the drum
Shades of delight
Cocoa hue
Rich as the night
Afro blue
Elegant boy
Beautiful girl
Dancing for joy
Delicate whirl
Shades of delight
Cocoa hue
Rich as the night
Afro blue
Two young lovers dance face to face
With undulating grace
They gently sway
Then slip away
To some secluded place
Afro blue
Afro blue

With all due respect to the beautiful and talented Dee Dee Bridgewater, this is my favorite version of this song.
Where’d the African rhythm go?

Our hip hop cover Live. A simpler version. Just a bass, guitar, drums and vocals.
