Explain how the translated text of Lambango (see Worlds of Music (pp.132-134) illustrates jaliya ideals.

What will be an ideal response?c

Question 2

Before you read the authors excellent aural description of Lambango and study the Active Listening guide, listen to it one more time and see how you would describe this song. Then compare what you have written to what the author has written and the Active Listening guide (maybe while listening to the song once more). Answers will vary.

Answer to Question 1

Throughout the text three contemporary 20th- century leaders are praised by recalling places where significant events in their lives took place, their outstanding personal qualities (generosity), and singing stylized praises in their honor.

Answer to Question 2

I hear a fairly structured rhythmic/tonal background in the kora ostinato and percussive tapping patterns. In the foreground I hear a male voice interjecting text that sounds close tobut not exactly likeeveryday speech. More importantly, and also in the foreground, is a female voice rising over all the rest of the sound in a series of separated passages (phrases) which seem more determined by the words she is presenting (free rhythms) than some pre-composed tuneful melody. In fact, her melodic range is limited to a rather small musical interval (maybe half an octave) which also makes her singing sound more like it's being spoken or chanted than sung in the Western sense.
