UPC: 038081581330. English. Traditional Welcome Song.
This lively welcome song traditionally accompanies the West African fanga dance. Built on the familiar tune (plus some new material and a few English words), this general music class favorite is fully developed as a choral arrangement. Scattered handclaps, syncopated rhythms, and bright harmonies make this well-crafted setting a joy to perform! A modulating breakdown section in the middle offers the opportunity to incorporate the dance. Downloadable percussion parts are available online.

These arrangements, all compatible with The Novello Book Of Carols, are scored for tuned and untuned percussion, two melody parts, (each in C and B flat), guitar chords, bass line and simplified piano. These carols provide the ideal opportunity of junior and middle school choirs to join adult choirs in performance, whilst fulfilling the need for ensemble music throughout the year.

UPC: 038081561325. English. Traditional Haitian Folk Song.
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.
