Notes
The song is sung by a woman who is very unhappy with the men in her life!
It is angry, but also slightly tongue in cheek.
A wonderful dance when facilitating new to advanced dancers and wishing to stir the energy into life without teaching complicated dance and, therefore, moving the circle energy towards the static mental.
ìAide, Mandalyo and Mandalena
What has your husband to do with me?
Sly schemes he cooks up,
and he always fishes in the shallows!î
