Giraffe…
greatest view holder of all our wild ones
eating tops of living plants
freshest, nearest father sun and mother sky.
Like Sun-drenched Vegetation...human thoughts
Grown in High Road Mind Become
Food for Good Thought, Food from Good Thoughts
Allowing us to walk our talk!
Giraffe glides ...
No need to rush ...when will we learn as well?
When ready to run
Massive territory becomes Giraffe's Great Drum.
Eduardo B. (UpperArmoryfirstyear) in collaboration with Palladio (Big Sis) Nadja P.
Note: Eduardo's Contribution of Great Merit is working with Professing Teacher Christopher, currently visiting from British Columbia, Canada.
... Professor Christopher (aka Prof Chris) brings to Palladio International Campus extraordinary savvy from his persevering pioneering efforts in the design of P-12 curriculum for the newly evolving field of "World Music."
Eduardo and Professor Chris suggest that you listen to the following music source as you read and reread the poetic expression above, Mighty Giraffe. Give it a rhythm of your making! Record this...and share it here with us, or YouTube...and then send us the link here so all can enjoy. Professor Chris' research project will include your entries with your name.
(You might extend your powerful experience also when you Google "African Drumming" and find related contemporary and folk music cited below on YouTube!)
Google World Music:
Africa, origins of humankind, offers African Drumming, uses the Djembe creating the master flow –contemporary and folk- African rumba, jazz, Ethiopia, Senegal, Gambia, Ivory coast, Mali, Guinea.
