Africa Kidz Songbook

The book contains 20 traditional African songs, mostly in Sesotho, isiZulu, and isiXhosa, with piano accompaniment, chords, lyrics, translation, pronunciation clips, and a brief history of each song. Guitarists and pianists who prefer to read chords will find melody lines and imaginative chords, while those who prefer to play from sheet music, will find the accompaniment relatively simple, yet substantial enough to accompany choirs and soloists in performances. Learning more about the history and meaning of these traditional African songs, will help singers gain a deeper understanding of other cultures; hence, the inclusion of the translations and history of the songs. The awareness of the background and meaning of each song will help perform the songs with the appropriate energy and sentiment.
