Episode 3

"I'm leaving in the morning (echo) I'm leaving in the evening (echo)" -- Peter Seger

This song by Peter Seger shows some traditional African song style. It has a leader singer who sings a phrase which is then followed by a chorus of people repeating the phrase. This is a technique which we talked about in class which started in Africa and was continued by African slaves in the U.S. It is also still used in much gospel music of today.
