Overall Meaning

"Sheba" is an instrumental track by Mike Oldfield, which was released on his 1984 album "Discovery". The song is named after the biblical Queen of Sheba, who traveled to meet King Solomon of Israel and impressed him with her wisdom and wealth. The song has a tribal and African-inspired sound with driving rhythms, exotic melodies, and chants. The lyrics of the song, however, are not in any known language, but are purely invented syllables.


The song starts with a series of tribal-sounding chants ("Sa-Na Gha-E E-Goo Ga-Ka E-Ge Ga-Ka Wroo"), followed by an Oud-like melody played by Oldfield's guitar. The main melody is then introduced with lush synthesizers and percussion, followed by an electric guitar solo. The chorus features a repetition of the words "Sa-Na Sha-E E-Goo Gam-Ma" with a grandiose and uplifting sound. The song then builds up with more complex rhythms and brass sections until it reaches its climax.
