UPC: 038081562117. English. West Indies Folk Song.
A great fit for choirs of any age or ability! Harry Belafonte sang this joyful West Indies song on his 1956 album Calypso. Dr. Robinson's arrangement has just the right amount of repetition versus development, and will come together quickly with intuitive voice leading and some stylistic syncopation. One a cappella refrain just after the key change features the conga to keep the groove going, and a final descant adds a rhythmic counterline above. Build up the Jamaican vibe with our light SoundTrax accompaniment or the notated percussion part (available free online). The theme: build your house on solid ground.

Gerakina (yeh-rah-kee-nah) is one of the most popular folk songs in Greece and the inspiration for an annual festival of the same name. Developing singers will enjoy the dance-like lilt and the fun drun-a-drun lyric, representing the sound of the title character's jingling bracelets. Greg Gilpin's percussion suggestions both anchor and enhance the bright 7/8 meter, and an included pronunciation guide aids with the Greek text.
