WELCOME

This is a place where you can find the words and music for the songs we have been learning here, as well as videos and photos.  Everyone who has taken part in our polyphonic singing events will be invited, and feel free to invite others who may be interested.  Feel free to add your own 'postings' , comment on others, embed You Tube videos, raise questions (and hope for answers) and so on.  Also come here to find out about forthcoming events.

You can sign up using your real name or a pen-name like I have done. The site is now public, but entries and comments can only be made by signed-up users.

There are maximum 2 items to a page,  to avoid slow loading.

Asho Chela

I think this is a very good version of Asho Chela
The words we are learning are:
Assho Chela vi sho-Buska o-u na na na na-i-a na-ni na.

Si-mo-no-bas ge-ga-pi-li, o-u na-na na na-i-a na-ni na.... [more anon!]

The bass line is mainly "O...na-ni na." Haven't worked out yet what they are singing here.!

Translation:

Enjoy everything: the old and new one

May your garden and barn

be always full of corn

May any of your close one who is far now get back to you soon

Now I am leaving and won’t be back until the next year
