On the heels of his wildly successful arrangement of the Zambian folk song "Bonse Aba" (Three-part Mixed-15/2689H; Two-part- 5/2654H), Victor Johnson has turned his attention to this selection from Ghana. Call-and-response-style writing makes the vocal parts engaging and easy to learn, and conga drum, shaker, woodblock, and cowbell lines lend an authentic African flavor to this unique creative programming piece. A pronunciation guide, translation of the text, and program notes are included.
