New Wave interpretation of New Orleans celebrations
A single by the Belle Stars. This reimagining of the original New Orleans standard "Aiko Aiko" captures the festive rhythm of the original with a hard drum machine and percussion ensemble.
A funky bass line provides the backbone of the song, and the horn section and spirited female vocals intertwine on top of that, creating an 80s new wave cover. This danceable arrangement gained worldwide recognition after being used in the film "Rain Man," and became the band's biggest hit.
