The voices along with hand claps stomps Djembe shaker and piano all combine for an exciting world music presentation.

Hear Me-Composer Jim Papoulis has created an energetic and uplifting work that fuses the rhythms from African American and Latin cultures and uses a text primarily in Swahili interspersed with phrases in Spanish. Supported by shaker Djembe and agogo bell the middle section has the feel of a real celebration with layers of spoken word that lead us to the understanding: ?listen hear stand strong.?

The Papoulis Foundation for Small Voices advocates for school music programs in many ways with proceeds from sheet music sales of this piece going directly to the Music Changes the World project. This selection is high energy with a positive message and full of world music rhythms allowing you and your choir to contribute their art toward a great cause.

Cette amusante, rapide salsa a été créé comme un morceau de fusion, mêlant salsa de New York avec urbaine funk, et tel que décrit par les compositeurs 'un morceau hip Latino.' Le texte est touchante à propos de la puissance des rêves, écrit en utilisant à la fois l'anglais et espagnol. / Choeur SSAB Et Piano
