African Jigsaw

Peter Rose and Anne Conlon
Published by Josef Weinberger Ltd

African Jigsaw looks at the problem of urbanisation, its effects on traditional tribal African life and the casualties left in its wake. African Jigsaw concerns a problem facing all developing countries and does not pretend the solution is a simple one. But seeing the pieces of the jigsaw may help young and old alike to come to an understanding of the situation and, perhaps, to draw their own conclusions on its rights and wrongs.

Absolutely beautiful - I'm going to use this with Year5/6. Wish Sing Up had a transposing feature!

i love this song, now whenever i come onto the internet all i want to listen to is shining shoes this song also sang to me how people with silly jobs are poor and have nothing, this song would definetly get a rating of 10/10 because if this was in any acting musical i would be crying right here on the step of my door, i havnt seen this musical and i have never heard of this musical before, but i have a feeling that the musical will also get a rating of 10/10! Thank you sing up a great song to choose!
