DURATION: 2:00.  KONIKONECO (TTB) is a traditional call-and-response song of the Teso people, who live in eastern Uganda and in western Kenya. The lyrics, from the Ateso language combined with borrowings from other languages and dialects, roughly translates as “Let us celebrate our schools, our learning, and our empowerment.” The piano accompaniment suggests the arpeggios typical of Ugandan hand-held harps (a’dungu). Other instruments, especially drums and shakers, may be added to the accompaniment, and the choral part itself includes body percussion in one section. (Also available for SATB or 3-Part Mixed chorus.).

A lively 4 part a capella version of this well known song, arranged for SSAA voices. The percussive 'tsi' sounds in the 3rd verse are optional and have been omitted from this recording. They could instead be played on shakers, eggs or tambourine instead of vocalised. This arranged was made for my ladies choir Viva Vocals back in England but I would love this to be sung by an American ladies choir with more authentic accents!
