The world is full of music. We hear it as we shop and while driving in our cars. We attend concerts and buy albums and digital downloads to listen to by ourselves. Yet, despite having music surround us, we may not always stop to consider the elements and pieces that combine to make music. In this unit, we will consider OUR GREAT BONGOS IKWUE AS A LEGEND. AMEN AMEN we love u daddy .
