Maafa - Ghanaian Song

 

Year 6 listened to different songs that were originally sung by black slaves in America, helping the children to understand it was a way for the enslaved people to communicate with each other while being watched by plantation owners, without fear of being punished. 
They then joined in with a traditional Ghanaian song and added rhythmical actions.
