Due to a poor chart performance (#48 in the German charts), the single ultimately was not included in the album (which was completely reworked and not released until May 1984 as Ten Thousand Lightyears). The single was intended to be included in the group's untitled seventh album, to be released in the fall of 1983. Liz Mitchell provided the song's lead vocals, backed by Reggie Tsiboe, Frank Farian, Cathy Bartney, Madeleine Davis, and Judy Cheeks. The song was also covered by numerous local artists and is heard throughout Kenya and Tanzania. In 2001 the Safari Sound Band released the album Mambo Jambo, which featured the song (aka Jambo Jambo) as the title track. The song, written by band leader Teddy Kalanda Harrison in 1980, has become widely popular in Kenya and Tanzania.
In 1982, the Kenyan hotel band Them Mushrooms released the song "Jambo Bwana" ("Hello Mister").
