Dhimiki is a new resource we have long needed. It gives us a tremendous new way to bring young people into the living, breathing vitality of other cultures. Imani has gathered authentic songs and stories from India, SeneGambia and Brazil and brings us into those foreign lands with playful rhythms and irresistible melodies that every child will want to learn and sing to discover the feeling of young people in another land. This book is an invaluable new way to bring cultural awareness into young lives.

The lyrics in these chants and songs shared express the deep need to connect with unseen forces that seem to guide us all. These influences encourage us to work together in the community as one people and to appreciate all living creation. The inspiration comes from people with unique cultures who use the force of their beliefs, through poetry and song, to provide hope, respect, love, responsibility and dignity.

IYIPO AYÉ The Book
|
Imani has crystallized a world of richness into a book that serves as a door through which young people (and not so young people) can discover the aliveness, the heart, of very different cultures. She tells irresistible stories and gives us authentic songs of the Yoruba, Ga and Shona cultures (from Cuba, Ghana and Zimbabwe) to bring young people into a journey of imaginative engagement. Iyipo Ayé teaches respect for all cultures and traditions even the many cultures living, often misunderstood, under the same school roof. Teachers, parents and grandparents, librarians and educators will love using this teaching tool, whose charm is so great that children will want to use this book over and over on their own.

Sounds of rhythms, phrasings and chants play an integral part in this universe. Its sweetness brings us closer into knowledge, truth, love, and self. The songs shared on this CD, convey how tradition reflects spirit and music in everything from the beginning of time and throughout the lives of its people. It is through these songs that we come to fully understand and accept the meaning of our existence in this life.
