An African wedding song that all in attendance sing in repetition, each one adding his or her own part to the chorus. The words translate, more or less, to “He’s got her, she’s got him.”  This song appears on Let Your Voice Be Heard: Songs from Ghana and Zimbabwe

Wai bamba wai, bamba wai,

Wi wi wi wi
