Swim along with the Sea Turtle Collection!

Sea Turtle draws inspiration from African American, Spanish, Irish, Malaysian and other cultures around the world, along with drumming patterns adapted from Turkish rhythms used for dancing. “Wau Bulan,” a Malaysian folk song, describes the beauty of the Malaysian traditional kite (wau), with a rounded bottom shaped like a half moon (bulan), as it flies up high in the sky. “Funga Alafia” created by African American dance and music educator LaRocque Bey and colleagues in the early 20th century, is based on the Fanga, a dance of welcome. Children will delight in imaginative play, drumming, and dancing with this rich, eclectic collection of songs and chants. Tuition includes our Sea Turtle Collection recording, songbook, and access to drumming videos.
