Description:
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!
