Amogela ~ Welcome
This is a song welcoming everyone to the moment. It is a jam to get the musical juices going. It is a thank you to South Africa for the four months I got to live there. It is a thank you to the Regaugele Choir that welcomed me to sing with them each afternoon, which was my favorite part of each day.
Welcome
Sister, Brother, Father, Mother
Grandma, Grandpa, Love
Welcome
*Male vocal interlude translated:
“This is a song of spirit, one for the elders of Music, in the entire world. We welcome you. This is a song for the elders, of the spirit and of the world. We welcome you, spirits of the Music. Let the song play”.
