Cibula

Country: Tanzania
Language: Cigogo

This is our “African frog song” from the Gogo region of Tanzania in which a cibula (a frog) hops (aye) back and forth, making the sound Matu!

Many thanks to Kedmon Mapana, originator of the Wagogo Musical Festival, for introducing All Around This World to “Cibula.”

Lyrics of the All Around This World Version:

Cibula Aye Cibula…MATU!!
