Apache

A very influential number to Van Credenza and much of the hip-hop movement, described as such by Afrika Bambaataa and the Sugarhill Gang, Apache has been covered, sampled and mashed by a huge variety of artists. Bert Weedon, rather than The Shadows, initially recorded the tune, although the sample used here is from The Ventures.

Although normally an instrumental, Van Credenza utilises Red Indian backing singers for parts of this rendering: listen carefully, they tell a story.
