Panama'm Tombe (Also written as Panama m Tonbe or Paname Tombe)
This lively Haitian song will delight students of all ages. Challenging rhythm and an interesting left-hand part make this a piece for later-intermediate players.
Panama'm Tombe serves as a study in syncopated rhythm. Learning music from around the world is also a wonderful way for students to learn about other cultures.
Here are the lyrics to the song;
"My hat fell off,
My hat fell off,
My hat fell off,
Whoever is behind me,
Please pick it up for me.
I left the city of Jacmel
I went to La Vallée
When I got to the intersection at Bainet
My hat fell off!"
This piece is part of Paloma piano's Platinum Collection.
