Malakatumba—Josu Elberdin. Born as a game,
this clever piece uses imitating sounds and
nonsense vocables to form words with no real
meaning. It begins with four solo voices in canon
over a humming harmonic accompaniment by
the choir. Then it opens into the main body of
the song that is quickly built by having each
voice part on its own ostinato. Add the body
percussion and this will be a real showstopper!

in an up-tempo call-and-response style. Add
percussion for a lively performance!
