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.
