Product Description

Here is a celebratory and rhythmic piano solo arrangement of the traditional Portuguese carol "Natal Africano" (generally translated as "An African Christmas Carol"). Though officially attributed to an unknown Portuguese composer, it more than likely originated in Mozambique. The steady beat simulating a drum as played by the left hand adds a fun element making this song a unique addition to your holiday repertoire. Duration 2:15.

Lyrics (loosely translated by Sharon Wilson so the words fit the melody):
In a manger bed, Jesus Christ was born,
In a manger bed, Jesus Christ was born,
As the stars shone so brightly,
Angels sang of His birth.
As the stars shone so brightly,
Angels sang of His birth.
Oh! Ah! Ah! Ah!

Oh! Ah! Ah! Ah!

This arrangement is one of the 14 songs in the collection "Christmas Favorites from Around the World."
