Lt San'bonani/Namhla Kudibene—arr. Michael
Barrett. A typical greeting in Zulu culture, this
arrangement is written with the call-and-response
technique so strongly associated with traditional
South African music. The soloists can be male or
female and can take their time when performing
their parts. The "Hololo hololo" response from the
choir is jubilant and may contain ululating and
other traditional African vocal sounds. Simple
hand gestures and waving toward the audience
is appropriate. This is a perfect opener and an
opportunity for a choir to be walking among the
audience as they welcome them. Available for
treble and tenor-bass voices.

there is plenty of unison to make this a quick learn
with high impact.
