Anyone know the words? Steve |

The Arts Centre tent was heaving with people. They taught us the song - which was fine. Then they taught us the dance - which was also manageable. But beggared if I could put the two together at the same time. Brings back happy memories. I remember it having something to do with the train, & we had to sing it like a train speeding up & slowing down or something. Kris |

The Gods Must Be Crazy? Can't quite recall...and also recorded by a DC-based group called Clam Chowder in a very nice five-part harmony version. Hope this helps... Lynn |

03 Oct 04 - 06:43 AM (#1287301) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cho Cho Losa From: greg stephens Try the spelling Shosholoza in the Digatrad box and you will find lyrics for this. Not necessarily as used by Ian Campbell, but there are definitely a couple of sets of words there. A great song! |

20 Oct 04 - 07:35 AM (#1301556) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cho Cho Losa From: Steve Parkes I beat you to it, Desred! Trouble with the song is I've never been able to match the words to the tune. The Campbells learned it parrot-fashion, so their rendering is a little too confusing to be a good guide. I was lucky enough to meet three South African women a few months back, who had the words and tune with them, and sang it for us, harmonies and all -- wonderful stuff! -- but even with the book, I couldn't follow it very well. WhatI really need is two or three other singers ... Steve |
