We have started learning songs for the One Big Voice concert at Perth Arena on the evening of Friday, August 12.

Students will need to show commitment and focus as we prepare for this exciting event, and there will be the opportunity for four of our students to audition for speaking or vocal group solos. Click here to go to the website, where you can download the music and lyrics for the songs.

Wimoweh!

Our next Community Song was made famous in the English speaking world in 1961 by a group called The Tokens. Originally called Mbube, it was first released in 1939 in Zulu language. Here is a fun version of the song – try to sing, “Wheeee!’ in the chorus sometimes, and, “Wimoweh!” another time.

 

Funga Alafia

Our next Community Song is a song of greeting and welcome from Ghana. The words mean, “With my eyes I greet you, with my words I greet you, with my heart I welcome you, I have nothing up my sleeves.”

You can watch an African performer singing Funga Alafia with a drum here.
