Songs.
In the words
of Jamaican musicologist
Marjorie Whylie, Jamaican
folk songs are full of
social commentary,
censure, and
recrimination in a
vehicle of humor. This
publication includes
three charming
arrangements for a
cappella singers and
percussion. One describes
a comical scene at a
train station; a second
playfully questions a
neighbor about some
missing food; and the
third (complete with
simple instructions to
recreate a ringplay game)
cheers a naughty cousin
who threw his aunt's coat
out the window. A printed
guide and online video
provide vetted learning
tools for the Patois
language. Unique,
authentic, fun!
