Tamborena Poem by Edward Kofi Louis

Listen to Mama Africa!
Watch the dancing steps of the African;
Tamborena, area, arena, born, bear, be bore, rat, art, eat, ate, ram, arm, bam, meat!
Dancing in the heat! !
To the rhythms of Africa,
gathering around to hear the drums;
The African beat,
The African rhythm,
With the heritage of a culture.
Tamborena, on, or, near, ton, one, not, tear, mat, ant, tan, at, boat, met, bar, Tema!
With the songs of the African people;
At a festival,
Dance, dance, dance! ! !
With the steps and the movements of the African people.
Tamborena, tone, note, borne, oat, moat, bat, tab, man, men, team, meat, tar, bet, team!
Listen to Mama Africa;
And, watch the dancing steps of the African.
Tamborena, ten, bare, ore, ear, era, tea, moa, mob, moan, Ben. Ama, Tom, beat, net, neat!
Gathering around and dancing with the muse of the cultures from the African continent;
Mama Africa! Mama Africa! ! Mama Africa! ! !
