Yes it is 'that tune' recorded in 1969 by Santana on their self-titled
debut album but possibly better known from the Cuban percussionist
Cándido (Cándido Camero Guerra) 1979 9:20 12" version on Salsoul. Australian
DJ/producer Dr (Greg) Packer also did a re-work of the tune in
2017.
The Santana version is somehow incorrectly credited to Aaron Copeland on
the album label (who was more of a classical music composer with over 1,500
writing credits to his name on Discogs). It was written by
Nigerian drummer Michael Babatunde Olatunji who recorded it on his
debut album "Drums Of Passion" in 1960 with the title Gin-go-lo-ba (Drums of
Passion) (sometimes listed as jin-go-lo-ba or jin-go-low-bah). Fat Boy Slim
(DJ Norman Cook) covered it in
2004.
DJ Steve Facey has done a complete re-work with vocals by
Vanessa Haynes (Incognito) with a new hook "Don't Stop The Party" and
new percussion section played by Wimer Sifontes and a sax solo by Kevin
Reynolds.
