"Afro-Left" is a song by the English electronic duo Leftfield, released as their seventh single. The song was released on 12", CD and cassette on 24 July 1995 by Hard Hands/Chrysalis. It featured Neil Cole (as Djum Djum) on vocals, and it was rumoured that the lyrics were in an unspecified African language; it was later revealed that they were simply gibberish, or "Djum Djum talk".[2] The song reached #22 in the UK charts.
The B-side "Afro Ride", a remix of "Afro-Left", was used in the 1995 game wipE'out".[3]
