Commentwith:
=====
Unknown accompanist(s) - the first 6 tracks include female vocals, zither, and harmonium.
This could be one person, two, or three. We are guessing one.
At track 4 Deborah Santana is introduced though by another name, not found in preliminary research.
We believe she is an additional vocalist on tracks 4-6.

trio:
Presumably this is Workman on bass and Shrieve on drums, as they are introduced at the end.
However this is not confirmed.
Note that Workman played on the original recording of Africa.


electric band:
Armando Peraza - congas
Reggie Workman - bass
Jules Broussard - saxophones, flute
Michael Shrieve - drums
Tom Coster - keys
