Derrik Jordan: Music
Sobobade
(SuperString Theory - SuperString Theory Goes To Senegal)
Words by Helen Kerlin-Smith, music by Derrik Jordan
This one is named after the beautiful place that we stayed in Senegal in 2006 right on the ocean. "Sobobade" is a Haitian word that means "the god who wecomes in all the other gods." The man who built Sobobade is Haitian. Helen sings in her native Amharic again to a melody that I wrote upon arriving late at night to this coastal resort one hour south of Dakar.
