The songs in this book have been adapted and can be played on all models of popular wooden xylophone, metal glockenspiel (metallophone), or resonator blocks. Even a simple kids’ xylophone will be adequate to play most of these songs. Some songs here have been simplified for beginners.This book is aimed at those new to music and musical instruments and I put letter notation above the notes to make it possible for you to confidently begin playing.Since African music assumes improvisation and variation, I recommend using this sheet music only as a guide. The most important thing is to listen and repeat the recordings linked to the QR code, so you can listen to the rhythm before beginning to play.Contents:Amawole - CongoAskari Eee - TanzaniaAtadwe - GhanaBanaha - CongoBanuwa - LiberiaBebe Moke - CongoBefore Dinner - CongoBilanga Na Ngai - CongoChe Che Koolay - GhanaCoco Laye-Laye - CongoDo Do Ki Do - CameroonEh Soom Boo Kawaya - NigeriaErile Baboye - South AfricaFamba Naye - ZimbabweFunga Alafia - GhanaIro Ye - BeninKanzenzenze - CongoKokoleoko - LiberiaKotiko - CongoKuya Mbio - TanzaniaL’abe igi Orombo - NigeriaMakun - MaliManamolela - South AfricaMayo Nafwa - ZambiaMbele Mama - South AfricaNing Wendete - KenyaNoyana - South AfricaObwisana - GhanaOlélé Moliba Makasi - CongoPlouf Tizen Tizen - AlgeriaSansa Kroma - GhanaSélinguenia - KenyaShosholoza - South AfricaSi Ma Ma Ka - GhanaSi Si Kumbale - South AfricaSindi - Burkina FasoSiyahamba - South AfricaSiyanibingelela - South AfricaStick Passing Song - UgandaTue Tue - GhanaUmele - South AfricaWa Wa Wa - CongoWelcome Song - UgandaZimbole - South AfricaZomina - Togo
