Title: Siyahamba
Performers: Mwamba Children's Choir

Culture: South Africa

Instrumentation: Voice, guitars, drums

This is a simple song in the African Zulu language, translating simply to "we are marching" and used often in the church. As in this rendition, performance of this hymn usually starts with one voice and builds to include several voices in unison, with accompanying instruments and dancing. There are several other videos taken informally in African villages where this is taught using the call-and-response method, which Campbell (2004) talks about in Teach Music Globally. The use of call-and-response is used all over the world to teach songs, but also in performance practice. Call-and-response is also one of the most effective teaching strategies for teaching songs, especially at younger ages. This strategy, paired with songs from this culture and others, can effectively and quickly be used to teach our students songs about other cultures as we also teach them all about those cultures.
