“Waloyo
Yamoni (We Overcome the
Wind)” is the grand
finale to Christopher
Tin's second album 'The
Drop That Contained the
Sea'. The lyrics are a
setting of a Lango
rainmaking prayer. It was
commissioned by the St.
Matthews Chamber
Orchestra, and recorded
by the Royal Philharmonic
Orchestra with the Soweto
Gospel Choir. New York
Concert Review wrote of
the Carnegie Hall
premiere “The audience
reacted after the final
notes with the loudest
and longest standing
ovation I have ever heard
at any concert”, while
The York Press wrote
“We Overcome The Wind
was an outpouring of joy;
a unanimous standing
ovation evinced the sense
of togetherness at the
heart of this
concert.”.
