Back in late 1954 I remember Ralph Marterie playing us (in the US) a song named "Skokiaan" as an instrumental. The title refers to moonshine (sometimes containing dangerous methanol) made in Zimbabwe. The Four Lads had a sung version at the same time. Also at the same time there was a version by the "Bulawayo Sweet Rhythm Boys" that charted here. The way I remember, from the Wikipedia, the composer, whose first name was August, had a band that played it in Zimbabwe, starting in 1947.
