Third new song by William Wasden

New Chinook Jargon music keeps getting created on Vancouver Island, BC.

The song I’m sharing today comes with a statement of protocols…Please read.

The song lyric in Chinuk Wawa. It’s titled, however, in Kwak’wala as Am’lala Sa K‘umuxse’, “Play Song of the K’omoux”.

Here’s a video of its unveiling.

Here’s the video from Comox Valley Schools.

Here’s a short video of it being performed solo.

It makes me very happy to find great new music still being composed in the language.

𛰅𛱁‌𛰃𛱂 𛰙𛱁𛱆‌𛰅𛱁 𛰃𛱄𛰙‌𛰃𛱄𛰙? qʰáta mayka tə́mtəm? kata maika tumtum?  Qu’en penses-tu?  What do you think?

And can you say it in Chinuk Wawa?
