This Shango song from Trinidad reflects the Yoruba tradition of West Africa. Followers believe God is everywhere - thus we are all a part of God. A cappella with percussion, the singing should be considered a rhythmic instrument as well when performing this exciting multicultural work.

This arrangement explores the Caribbean style known as "Afro-Cuban": independent melodic lines with strong rhythmic pulses are superimposed to build up textures that are both rich and translucent. Every section of the choir is spot-lit; every section gets its turn to lead. The piece would especially suit a choir in search of something seasonal but upbeat which is not a "novelty number."
