Our
current repertory wands from Spirituals to Gospel music, from Africa to swing,
from Caribbean music to south-American rythms. All songs have been completely
rearranged according to our taste and there are 4 ones totally rewritten using
only original lyrics.
Repertory
Pata Pata
Oh Happy Day!
Go down, Moses
Sometimes I
feel ...
When I got to
Heaven
Were you there
Ezechiel
Get our Scores
Get our Lyrics
This
is a song written in the 40’s, we listened to in the version leaded to success
by Manhattan Transfer.
Lyrics apparently tell about a “drunk cat”. But it correctly refers to a jazzman
(probably Cat Anderson, a trombonist of Duke Ellington’s orchestra).
Choir arrangement is based upon 3 voices replying to the solo. Usually we play
it at the beginning of our exhibitions because it gives us the charge we need
to start.
This is a very well
known song, perhaps a too much one... So we decided to deeply modify it. We
located it ideally in Africa, by means of a tribe rhythm and by inserting
a short rhyme in Swahili saying:
A do
G’berena mo
Sara n’gi
Sara n’gi
So
This
world is not my home
With
this song we preserved only the original lyrics. Music was rewritten from scratch
by Wraj, our arranger/art director/writer/... TAMER.
