about

I learned this traditional African song from my friend Robert LaPorte, who is an earth clay/straw and timber-frame natural building pioneer. While leading a building project in 1999, he had the whole crew singing this and I was able to retain it. Since that time, I've taught this song to thousands of people that always join in a highly spirited manner, which ultimately inspired this arrangement.

It is sung as a welcoming song to the surrounding villagers who have come to assist with the harvest, re-thatching, or re-plastering of their dwellings. The meaning is: “Welcome to my village; you are now part of my village; we are all one village.”

AYE MOJINUMBA
