WANA BARAKA

'Wana Baraka' is a traditional Kenyan song performed in Swahili. Its lyrics convey messages of blessings, joy, peace and well-being for those who pray, a sentiment affirmed by the joyous exclamation, “Alleluya!”. Kirchner’s arrangement celebrates and appreciates the global exchange of musical traditions.
