Product Description

This piece is ideally suited for Marimba Workshop (Pty) Ltd marimbas, www.marimbaworkshop.co.za but can be played on a variety of instruments.

This simple, yet effective arrangement of the popular piece entitled "Mbube" or "Lion Sleeps Tonight" was originally written and recorded by Solomon Linda, a migrant worker in South Africa for the South African Gallo Record Company in 1939.  

All parts are simply written on the stave to facilitate ease of reading.

I have layered the entrance of the various parts to create an introduction. Feel free to experiment the way you layer your parts.

This is a firm favourite for all marimba bands as it is well-known and fun to play.

In this YouTube video you can see the Goede Hoop Marimba Band playing a medley of Waka Waka, Mbube and Ode To Joy ... all arrangements are available at sheetmusicplus.
 
I hope you have fun learning this arrangement.

 I would love to hear your version of this piece.
