On the heels of the successful Yesu Kwetu ni Rafiki comes Bwana Asifiwe, a fresh and fun arrangement of the African song by Mark Burrows. The traditional African text and tune are smartly partnered with the hymn Praise to the Lord, the Almighty by the composer, and the piece features an upbeat piano accompaniment with optional improvisatory percussion. This piece would suit children's voices alone, or would make a great combined piece with youth and/or adults.
