Bert Kaempfert (born Berthold Heinrich Kämpfert, 16 October 1923 – 21 June 1980) was a German orchestra leader, t, music producer, arranger, and composer. He made easy listening and jazz-oriented records and wrote the music for a number of well-known songs, including "Strangers in the Night" and "Moon Over Naples". Kaempfert was born in Hamburg, Germany, where he received his lifelong nickname, Fips, and studied at the local school of music

The two Kaempfert compositions A Swingin’ Safari and Afrikaan Beat soon became world hits and have since become evergreens. The success of Take Me famous is down to Dean Martin’s vocal version of the number, and That Happy Feeling, Market Day and Happy Trumpeter were sensational, long-running hits on American radio. At that time, the typical Kaempfert rhythm had been enhanced by a titillating sound coming from the flutes: Bert Kaempfert modeled this music on the sound produced by blowing penny whistles (brass flutes) in the same particular way as in South African Kwela music. The intro to Afrikaan Beat is also one of the most unmistakable symbols of Bert Kaempfert and his Orchestra today, with its typical ‘cracking bass’. Again Ladi Geisler recalls: We musicians were, as always, gathered around one microphone.

This is a reissue of Bert Kaempfert's classic 1962 recording, which helped make him an international star. Included are some of his best-loved hits such as "A Swingin' Safari," "Afrikaan Beat," and "The Happy Trumpeter. The use of flutes, penny whistles, and voices contribute to the cheerful, lighthearted mood and became a staple of the "Kaempfert sound. Trumpeter Fred Moch plays an unheralded, yet vital role throughout and remained an unsung star in the Kaempfert orchestra for many years
