Music Alone Shall Live – Traditional German Folk Song
Speaker: This next song was written by Joseph Shabalala of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, a South African singing group. During apartheid years, he was in New York missing his family in South Africa. The words mean “Be still my heart, even here I am at home.” We will do quiet stomping while we sing, a modified form of dance of the Zulu people – just soft enough to show their anger for apartheid without getting thrown in jail.
Thula Klizeo – Joseph Shabalala “Be still myheart, even here I am at home” (dance from Zulu people in South Africa)
Speaker: And, of course, there’s our National Anthem, which was written during the War of 1812. Our flag was still flying over the fort in Baltimore, even after the British bombing all night. Would you please stand and join us as we sing?
Star Spangled Banner
