Contents:

With the forest

Religious chant

May the moon rise

Chat at the death of a woman

Drums of war

The story of a battle

I am alone

Genealogy

Dance of the children

Once she was as beautiful as the moon

Let us tell the story

We will watch

Song for the sea at sunset

Bamboo drums and dances of summer

Song for birds in flight

There was a time

Chant in the face of danger

Women's work song

Drums of welcome and rejoicing

Dance of pleasure in love

Almost daybreak

We shall overcome

Sing then, dance then

The young and brave

From sea to the seat of the mountain

Not goodbye.
