Safri Duo are a Danish percussion duo formed by Uffe Savery and Morten Friis, both classically trained musicians who moved into electronic dance music. They broke through internationally with Played-A-Live, also known as The Bongo Song, released in 2000 and a major hit across Europe in 2001. Their mix of live bongos, congas and club beats defined a distinctive tribal house sound. Clips from their tracks still circulate online for edits and remixes because the drumming is instantly recognisable and needs no vocals to create energy or recognition.
