This week in class we sing “Walhav Re Nakhwa” is an Indian boating song in the language Marathi, most likely sung in the seas near Mumbai, located in the state of Marharastra. “Walhav Re Nakhwa” is a tune sung by the children of seafarers on the Indian Ocean: “Sailor, you please row the paddle, please row the paddle, We are the children of fishermen, We have no fear of the sea.” I love the sing-song nature of the melody as it evokes the sing-song motion of ocean waves.
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
