Artistic Director: Jorge Valls, Accompanist: Gayle Giese. This popular children's folk song from Ghana is sung traditionally as a call and response. It is an Akan playground song. "Pete" (which means "vulture") is a nickname for children. It is a reference to a child's great appetite. Vulture, vulture, your mother is calling you. What does she want me to do? She said the meal is ready.   less

This song was written by Ralph Schmitt who (amongst other things) leads the Rodean Girls School Choir (Johannesburg). We had the pleasure of learning this from them at a workshop before a joint concert in 2010. If you hunt YouTube you can find several clips of them performing it magnificently. Great choir, Great tune. Thanks Ralph! Opening Trio, Ali Orbaum, Sarah Pennington & Sam Burns
