Siyahambaarr. Donald Moore. The magical
effect created by this wonderful South African
folksong is remarkable! The Zulu text is sung first
(pronunciation guide is included), then an optional
English translation may be used on the second
verse. Use the optional parts for conga, tam and
maracas to enhance the bubbly, dance-like feeling
of the piece. Your singers will naturally want to
incorporate some movement in their performance,
such as a simple step from side to side. Your choir
will love it!

H Stand TogetherJim Papoulis. From Jim
Papoulis' Sounds of a Better World series, this
original piece should be performed with an Irish
flair that evokes a distant longing and yet is very
hopeful in the present. The beginning of the song
is gentle and soothing; gradually, the energy starts
to increase, leading up to the refrain, "If we stand
together, we will sing forever of the dreams growing
in our hearts..."

n Tafta HindiGreg Gilpin. Look no further for that
unique multicultural programming gem - Gilpin's
setting of this Middle Eastern folk song is bright,
fun and flirtatious! The text, in classic Arabic, tells
the story of a traveling salesman selling Indian
muslin, taffeta, and other pretty material and wares
for women to purchase. The Arabic is repetitive,
easily learned, and helps fuel the rhythmic feel
of the melody and overall style of the piece. A
pronunciation guide and translation are provided,
along with helpful performance notes.

t Tshotsholoza (Go Forward)Jeffery L. Ames.
Now available for mixed or men's voices, this rousing
arrangement of the popular African freedom song
has become a standard in the choral repertoire. With
call-and-response vocals, African text, and rhythmic
percussion accompaniment, it transports the listener
to South Africa, where the song is often referred to
as the "unofficial anthem" of the country. It was used
in the soundtrack of the Oscar-nominated movie
"Invictus," and served as South Africa's "battle call"
at the 2010 World Cup. This is essential multicultural
programming! Highly recommended!

Plenty of teaching moments here, along with a

pronunciation guide is included, and choreography
is available on the When We Sing! DVD.

BONSE ABA
Traditional Zambian Song
arr. Andrew Fischer. Here is an
exuberant a cappella number that's
loaded with African atmosphere!
The traditional Zambian words
are sung throughout with such a
buoyant, rhythmic feel that you
are transported into the center
of a native celebration. The lyric
translates as "All that sing have the
right to be called the children of
God." The song is brief, but may be
repeated as many times as desired.
Various voicing options are possible,
and African percussion may be
added as the piece progresses. Your
choir will definitely want to improvise
some celebratory whoops and
shouts! Highly recommended!
