Crank up that music Let’s start us dancin! Want a playlist To get you prancing

Djembe drums or mandolin Disco hip-hop what mood you’re in Tablas or a tasty tango Go bananas, eat a mango

Where you from? You can choose Whichever music Kills your blues

Every country its own rhythm But the music heals the schism The Universe is all vibration May the sound waves heal our nations

Turn up the Hertz Switch off the hurt

Come dance to music from South Africa

FreshlyGround — Doo Be Doo

May Love rain down on everyone.

(Poem inspired by Agnes Louis to continue the chain. I’ve taken the last two lines of her poem, so keep dancing!)
