Hi Yo Ipsi Naya - (A Navajo Song of Happiness)

"Hi Yo Ipsi Naya" is a traditional song that has probably been included in Navajo ceremonies for centuries. Today, this melody is often referred to as a "Navajo song of happiness." All the elements of the song are very simple and repetitive with a variety of percussion instruments as well as body percussion used throughout. It's an interesting and compelling work for teaching and performing.
