SKU: AP.48806

UPC: 038081561301. 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.

Rhythmic with lots of vocal color, this new arrangement of the sixteenth century Spanish carol is a delight for mixed as well as men's voices. A steady eighth note pattern in the energetic accompaniment creates a steady beat as the piece moves seamlessly from the Rui, Rui, Chiu to God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen, making use of both Spanish and English languages adding a delightful familiarity for the audience.
