This song is called “Wavin’ Flag” by K’NAAN. This song was played for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and that’s where it gained its popularity. K’NAAN is a a Somali-born Canadian hip hip musician, whose brightly melodic songs and clever lyrics demonstrate international appeal, which made him an ambassador for the plight of his homeland.
I chose this song because it is very familiar to me and many others who have taken international classes in the past. I also enjoy that this song is very up-beat and portrays a good message for everyone to hear. This song has a variety of drums, clapping sticks, and a main voice with background voices and chanting.
I found this song on Spotify!
