The call-and-response nature of the refrain makes assembly participation about as easy as possible, the women of the choir support the assembly and the men provide a bit of easy harmony, all over a relaxed accompaniment. While not requiring an exceptionally large vocal range, the cantor should ideally have a solid low range (down to a low A) with the ability to sustain the upper D at a couple of points in the verses. For cantor or soloist.

Some history: this song comes from Haiti, but actually refers to the first King of Angola, Ngolo Kiluanje, who was revered as a great king. The Creole word for king (wa) plus the king's name (Ngolo) became Wangolo. It's an authentic folk song recalling the peace and prosperity the Angolan people enjoyed before colonization. This rhythmic rendition, which may be performed without piano if desired, includes optional body percussion, suggested parts for djembe and other instruments, optional solos in the call and response section, plus a final descant that tops off the triadic parallel harmonies. Check out the free online ChoreoTrax video for some creative riser choreography.
