A vibrant encounter between J-POP and funk
A groovy masterpiece created in collaboration between Toshinobu Kubota and Brother Tom.
"Bonga Wanga" is a perfect fusion of the two artists' unique personalities, with a funky rhythm and sophisticated vocals. The song expanded the possibilities of Japanese R&B and is an important piece in the 1990s J-POP scene. The production is also excellent, resulting in a danceable yet deeply musical song.
