Kujichagulia is literally "choose oneself". Great! Ujima means "cooperation", I didn't realize (and I was in the Ministry of Cooperatives in the Peace Corps!).
Ujamaa's Arabic root means "union", and Tanzania's attempt at socialism under Nyerere was called this (as I recall from living in Kenya 1978-9)--so the word refers here to public funds: "OUR money". Kuumba is pronounced "ku umba". Howling good song. Mzungus have their part to play. The word literally mean "aimless wanderer".
GREAT! Thanks for sharing this video. I will share also.
