If this doesn't make you feel happy, then nothing will.

What’s the name of the song in the second video?

The second song was created specifically for the new video. The music was written by a composer I knew named Garry Schyman. He brought in LA studio musicians to play live instruments over the same vocals heard in “Sweet Lullaby.” I watched them put the whole thing together in about 10 hours. The song doesn’t really have a name, so you can call it whatever you want.

How about “Florble”?

Okay. Then what’s the deal with the girl singing?

The girl you hear singing is named Afunakwa. She comes from a place named Fataleka in the Solomon Islands. The song she is singing is a traditional lullaby named “Rorogwela.” The recording was made in 1970 by a UNESCO ethnomusicologist named Hugo Zemp.

Boy...that was a lot of names.

”Rorogwela” is part of the oral tradition among the Baegu tribe, passed down through generations for who-knows-how-long, and was thankfully preserved while there were members of the tribe who could still sing it.

The song is now a part of the internet video tradition among computer geeks, and is passed through high-bandwidth fiber optic cable to who-knows-where a bajillion times a day.

I find this to be nifty.

No one seems to know if Afunakwa is still alive. If she is, I would very much like to meet her someday.
