Hakuna Matata is one of the best loved songs from the 1994 Disney film The Lion King, reprised in both the Broadway stage show and the 2019 remake. This version is arranged as a Duet for one Violin and one Cello.

Written by Elton John with lyrics by Tim Rice, the original version was sung by Jimmy Cliff and Lebo M. Hakuna Matata means no worries in Swahili. The song was nominated for an Oscar in 1995 but was was beaten to the award by Can You Feel the Love Tonight, another song from the same film. 

Musicians at an intermediate standard will find this ideal for formal and informal concert performances. Total performance time is around three minutes. This version contains three different choruses as sung in the film, with instrumental interludes in between. In the films, this instrumental music lies underneath the spoken dialogue.
