Praia Cape Verdean Morna Sway

Players stand in a loose circle and link arms with the people beside them.

A slow, wistful song is played, and the group sways gently side to side in time with it.

One player at a time steps into the center and hums or sings a line, inventing lyrics about a memory.

The circle repeats the line back before swaying resumes and the next player steps in.

Continue until everyone who wants a turn has had one.
