Li Ngu Weko

by Steven Webb

SSA a cappella – CP 1844 – 4:30

Created using nonsense syllables, Li Ngu Weko is an exciting and upbeat piece that should be sung with energy and a strong sense of groove or rhythm. 
Inspired by my upbringing in South Africa, the piece incorporates elements of Southern African choral music, as well as the western classical choral repertoire. Conductors are encouraged to incorporate basic movement or choreography to enhance the piece, and choir members are highly encouraged to move their bodies to the music!
