Sansa Kroma

The Grade 4/5 classes have been learning the song, Sansa Kroma (pronounced sah-sah crow-mah) meaning Sansa, the Hawk. This song is a traditional African folk song from Ghana and some of the lyrics are in the Akan language. The song describes an orphaned hawk searching for food. Through this song, African children are reminded that unlike the orphaned hawk, they will never be left on their own. Family, friends, or other members of the village will always be there to help them.

Take a look at this video of another children's choir singing the same song.
