African Lullaby
Poet/Lyricist:
Traditional Bantu & African American
The familiar African American sing, “Angels watching over me” is given cantus firmus treatment while a lilting African lullaby, "Abiyoyo" gently sways around it. The Bantu song, "Abiyoyo" is traditionally sung at bedtime as a song to entrance night time monsters into a dancing state; mother and father can then chase the monsters away so baby can safely sleep. Appropriate for either children's or mature women's ensembles.
