 of the dance, and some of you may already know it, and if you do, please sing along. If you know the dance, please dance along. If you know the drum rhythm, please drum along with me. So the name of the dance and the name of the drum rhythm is Funga. Funga is drumming. Alaffia, yeah, I know you remember. Alaffia is welcome from the Yoruba people of Nigeria, and ashay is power. In some circles they say it means, and so it is, and so be it. But I like to use it as power and personal power. We all have personal power. So Funga, drum rhythm, Alaffia, welcome. Ashay, power. Drum rhythm, welcome, power. Funga, Alaffia, ashay, ashay. This song is a call and response, meaning when I'm the caller and you'll be the response. I call and you respond. We don't sing together. We sing separate. It's like an echo. I'll say it first and then you'll say. Funga, Alaffia, ashay, ashay. Good. Funga, Alaffia, ashay, ashay. One more time, my turn. Funga, your turn. Alaffia, ashay, ashay. Very good. Now I'm going to sing. Funga, Alaffia, ashay, your turn. In dance. So now I'm going to keep time with my feet while I sing. I'm keeping time with my down to the earth. There's a poem from my mouth. We welcome. You reach down to the earth. That's what your hands are translating. That's the language. From our mouths we welcome and from our hearts we reach down to the earth. Yes. I'm going to play the drum while you do the dance. Maybe we should go over it one more time. Funga, Alaffia. See that? Now we go to the earth. Go backwards. Ashay, ashay, Alaffia, ashay, ashay. Yes. Funga, Alaffia, ashay, ashay. Yes. We're going to go to the drum. Now you're going to do the dance while I play the rhythm. I'm going to introduce my drum to you. This is called a gym bay. This is the bowl. This is the step. Just like the human body, the drum has to breathe in order for it to get the maximum sound from it. Now this is gold skin. I call these my kids because kids, anyway, the middle of the drum is the bass and the side is the tone. Bass. Now get a pot, a pan. I'll do the singing and you're going to sing while you dance. Now there's something called the musical break that I'm going to play for you that tells you when to start the dance, when to change the dance step, and when to stop the dance. That's called the musical break. A musical break. And it sounds like this. The musical break. Those are the dancers and the drummers and anyone else in the city, in the village, that there's something going on at Sister Sumaya's house. Sister Sumaya's getting ready to dance. Sister Sumaya's getting ready to sing. Sister Sumaya's getting ready to drum. That's called the musical break. Okay, and then we go into the rhythm. I'm going to play that and then I'll start the song. Now it's going to be your key. Let it do the nose, let it out the sound. Do breath in through the nose, let it out the sound. One more and through the nose, let it out the sound.
