YolanDa's Band Jam

Series 1

Jam #7: Folky Cokey

First broadcast: on CBeebiesLatest broadcast: on CBeebies HD

Available for 4 months

YolanDa Brown and her house band The Band Jaminals entertain an audience of children with live music and guests. YolanDa welcomes global folk band Kabantu to the show. They explain all about their unique global sounds that mix flavours of England, Scotland, Germany, France and South Africa. They also get the Band Jammers involved as they teach them all about body percussion, using the names of fruit to create different sounds and rhythms by clapping and stamping.

In the Fact Jam, we find out more fun facts about folk music, including nursery rhymes being a form of folk music and how the oldest song in the world, over 3,000 years old and carved onto a lump of rock, could also be called folk music.

A short film takes us to meet a group of enthusiastic musical children who make their own percussion instruments out of various household objects. Show less
