Subject: Lyrics tangent to Singing the Spirit Home
Eric Bogle's song "Singing the Spirit Home" is one I want to add into my trio's repertoire. No problem there, but what I really want is the Swahili freedom chant they use as a counter rhythm in the chorus. The name of it is something like "Tsioalosa" (I know the spelling is way off but the pronunciation is "cho-cha-low-sa").

My own web searches only turn up references to it.

Anybody? Phonetic or otherwise?


Click for "Shosholoza"
