In the middle of 1975, just after they finished the recording of 'The Boys Doing It' album with Hugh Masekela, Orlando and the band all flew to Ghana and Lagos. It was holyday and Orlando had also plenty of time to focus on his own songs. He wrote "Disco Hi-Life" in Yoruba and "Children of the World" in English.
