Signature song: "Mayibuye i Africa" by Chimora (118 bpm)
CD: The Best Of Chimora. May be ordered from bluewatermusic.net
Intro: 32 counts.

Alternate songs: Slow or for teaching: "Old Country" by Mark Chesnutt (95 bpm) This beautiful song is my top choice for a country song option. Restart after the Kick-Back-Fwd of the 5th repetition. It is easy to hear this restart coming because that is the instrumental section.
