Voicing: SATB with xylophones, djembe, and shekere
Text: Alexander Gondo
The composer has taken special care to set this incredibly fun African song in an authentic manner. Mixed-voice choirs of all ages will find this piece an interesting challenge. The melody is introduced in unison, followed by four parts, and later joined by a leader's calling voice. Add djembe and shekere to bring the piece to life. Add additional depth with Orff xylophones which mimic the Zimbabwean belafon.
