Giriama songs at Super Saturday

At the last Super Saturday that we wrote about recently, at least one of the groups found a little free time and began to sing some songs in their local language. Here is Lesley's favorite (note the harmony!).

These kids, as well as the ones in Ribe, have rhythm in their blood. They cannot possibly sing without beating out rhythms and dancing. I (Lesley) taught my class the round for "Make new friends but keep the old" - they sang it well, and added percussion and dance moves! Our host's daughters are some of the best dancers I've ever seen ... even though we were just in the living room dancing to the radio, I've never felt so white as when I danced next to them!
