You Belong Here — Heather Houston

/in , , , , , /by

A fun greeting song created for my Song Village community — and for everyone to enjoy. Once my participants get the hang of it, I invite them to walk around and sing one whole round to one person, then to another, and so on and so forth. Harmonies can be improvised. All for fun!

Lyrics:

You belong here in this place
You belong here in this place
Oh I see you
And I see you seeing me to

I belong here in this place
I belong here in this place
Oh I see you
And I see you seeing me too

I belong here in this place – repeat 3 or 4 times

Zominamina from the Ivory Coast

/in , , , , /by

A gathering song from the Ivory Coast. I learned this one from an Inkululeko CD back in 2000 when I was teaching elementary school. I arranged the harmonies for my students. It became a favorite for all of the grades, every year. Adults love it too! 😉

Try keeping the rhythm in your hands or feet as you sing it.

Lyrics:

Zominamina eh eh
Wake wake eh eh eh
Zominamina zonga le wa
Ana wa ah ah

Zongo eh eh eh
Zongo eh eh eh
Zominamina zonga le wa
Ana wa ah ah
