Back home he developed the idea to arrange a "musical marriage"(mariage musical). Therefore he asked the producer Mike Steiphenson to create a fitting tune to those absorbing drums he brought.
Steiphenson produced a psychedelic harmony consisting of e-guitar and piano and inserted it in Ekian's recording.
In 1971 the track was published under the pseudonym Burundi Black. On Side A there is "Part 1", the drum-solo version, on Side B ("Part 2") the version by Steiphenson. The single went top 40 in the UK. Later, Steiphenson released under his own name or rather aliases some further obscure stuff which didn't receive any attention.

Love this! Used to play it at my local pub disco back when I was about 18. I'm now 66 and wish I could still jump about now like I did then!

Adam Ant was influenced by this drumming using two drummers in his band and you can hear why he was impressed.

Watching my elderly family prancing around to this in 71,was a sight to behold.I of course left the pub to avoid the embarrassment.
