Wangol—Sten Kallman. Your students will like
this! It's a popular folk song from Haiti about a
country in change. Wangol is a voodoo spirit
and he is addressed in the song: "Wangol, you
are leaving. When will I see you again? The
country is changing." The words express the
hope of the Haitian people for change and
a brighter future for their country, while the
music is easy to sing, with a great groove and
style, complete with rhythmic percussion and
pronunciation guide.

We Will—Jim Papoulis. Each time "chiku ah"
(chikoo ah) is sung it should be in a whispered
voice, with intensity. "Si mama, wototo" (stand
tall, children) is the response in Swahili. This
compelling piece uses both English and Swahili
to send the message that we must send the
best part of ourselves into the future through our
children. "We'll move on, we'll grow stronger,
we will sing another song, we will dream of a
promise that will bring a brighter day..."

Welcome Here (Bienvenidos)—arr. Ashley
Danyew & Angela Leonhardt. A traditional

an easy descant. An optional Spanish chorus
provides another layer of interest and appeal.
