Hammer Man

  • This Work Song will come alive with enthusiastic actions done on the beat.
  • This song lends itself to being sung with body ostinato performed with a strong beat.
  • A useful song for preparing and practising tim-ka. With its strong, plodding beat, you can really emphasise the tim-ka, rather than allowing it to revert to a swing/jazz rhythm.
  • The melodic elements 'fa' and 'ti' can be practised with this song.
