Cape Zeebra single revived - Ribeiro/Sepel

The late Louis Ribeiro and Brian Sepel wrote some powerful rock songs in their time together in the 1980s. Sadly they are no longer with us. (c) Songwrights Publishers Taken from their album they made as part of the band Zeebra, we now offer the single version of Wake the Day. The song produced by Jerry Barnard in Cape Town features Louis on vocals, Brian on keyboards, Jonathan Butler on guitar and Gary Horne on saxophone. The track, which was not a single until now, is edited from restored tapes stored in the Mountain Records archive. It will be available on the 25th February 2022. For reasons of possible copyright infringement we are obliged to re-name the band Cape Zeebra. Links to music - https://orcd.co/74mgy2k Video - https://youtu.be/2IS5Squit3Q Mountain Records
