Here Comes our Mothers

I learned this cool song from Ladysmith Black Mambazo. The lyrics are in English and in Zulu. On this video, Tony is playing a traditional African talking drum and I am tossing around an instrument made from a gourd called a shekere. You can color a shekere or make your own here.

Ese Pollito
(That Little Chicken)

Oh no, this song is about a chicken that just won’t stop peeping. Lyrics are in Spanish and English. These are all chickens and chicks from my farm.

Guantanamera

This song came from a poem by José Marti. I’ve added new English lyrics so non-Spanish speakers can get a sense of how this song speaks so beautifully of the special love that each person carries in their heart for their homeland.
