Have fun singing this real Kenyan song! Hakuna Matata! Feel free to make the arrangement your own with solos, percussion, adding movement, etc. There are many opportunities throughout to use soloists or small groups. In this case, it is suggested to use two conga drums (one high and one low) however, the percussion can be whatever you choose. As is tradition in East Africa, vocal groups are often accompanied by one or two drums. (Very good.) Wageni wakaribishwa (Visitors are welcome here) Kenya yetu hakuna matata (Our Kenya has no problems) Kenya nchi nzuri (Kenya is a good country) Nchi yenye amani (It is a country of wonder) I have tried to arrange this so that it is faithful to the original song.
