Kammakammaland, Boek 1: Arrangements of Afrikaans Folk Songs (2004)

mixed choir or solo voices

In Afrikaans we use the word “kammaland” to refer to an imagined place, and the word “kammakamma” to indicate that we are pretending (without the intention to deceive). I added ‘Book 1’ to the title, because the intention to arrange more of the folk songs that I grew up with, was very strong in the year 2004.
