Composed by Traditional Liberian welcome chant. Arranged by Sylvia Miles. African,Children,Folk,Standards,World. Octavo. 2 pages. Sylvia Miles #6129437. Published by Sylvia Miles (A0.977681).Fanga Alafia is a chant of welcome, from Liberia, in the Yoruba language.
Fanga Alafia means hello, we dance a welcome; Aa shay aa shay means come and be with us.
It's arranged for SAA, basically treble voices. It's a great song for youngsters (or indeed the young at heart).
The second altos, with their skippy rhythm, have the fun of lightening the whole piece - not something that A2s are often asked to do!
In the call and response section, especially in verse 4, you could have 1s and 2s doing the call / response, with a sort of contest to see who can sound more welcoming. The song sounds great with a drum.
