GVSU Varsity Men (Glee Club) - Hol' You Han' (Jamaican Folksong)

[allstarwrestler216]

this is really cool me and my classmates at menomonie high school r doing the same piece and its alot of fun and our men's chorus is mostly freshmen and sophmores like me but my teacher said its the hardest men's song he's ever directed so i hope we do just as good as these guys cuz they were amazingly great

[prs420]

Great accompanist! Awesome groove.

[drspintoo]

[chrismorrison79]

This is good...........Very good. I can really appreciate it when our folk form is not just taken for granted but given the integrity is so well deserves. Jamaicans can feel good in knowing that Miss Lou’s work lives on even in other cultures. Thanks guys.

[kerihowell]

As a Jamaican, I truly appreciated this rendition of Miss Lou's "mek mi hold yu hand" folk song. She is a Jamaican icon & it would have been lovely to see her rocking in delight & astonishment to this variation of her song, truly seeing that her work had been handed down the generations & is still appreciated. GREAT WORK guys!!!!!!!!!!!!

[617336]

It was really funny at first to hear the group sing this Jamaican song, in a different version from how we sing back home in Jamaica. Very good delivery guys. Keep up the good work.

[IreneHaule]

Gentleman - bravo!! Most entertaining - excellent rendition. You certainly seemed to be enjoying it as much we enjoyed being entertained by you. Music transcends all

[kareencee]

I enjoyed this video. It is a lovely tribute to our Jamaican culture esp. Louise Bennett. It makes me proud to see others are appreciating our folk music. Kudos to this Glee Club! Nuff Respec'

[sean7sky]

lol lol blow wow, dis mad

[jokitress]

Hilarious . . . and fantastic. Of course, like others have said, work on that 'yuh han' instead of 'you hand.' The vowel in 'yuh' is like a short 'o.' Also, 'long' should be 'lang,' and 'gal' should be 'gyal.' Not to take anything from your performance, though: it was BRILLIANT! Oonu a 'appen!

[bowtri]

very entertaining!

[ProvocativeWoman]

I totally love this! So entertaining! And propz to the lead singer/rapper! Great job!

[iriebliss]
