Description
Head to Souh Africa to sing & play 'Siyahamba!" Sung in Zulu, the lyrics translate to "We are marching in the light of God" or "We are standing in the light of peace" for a secular setting. I have used this with my experienced upper elementary students and middle schoolers, though this would work for a choir as well as a general music class.
