COUNTRY: Jamaica
LANGUAGE: Jamaican Creole
“Ay Zuzuma” is a Jamaican children’s circle game in which a man goes to town to go to the market and leaves his wife at home to make lunch. When he returns she tells him all the things she’s cooked for him – corn pork and saltfish. Found on Smithsonian Folkways album, “Children’s Jamaican Songs and Games.”
