Fumaa Bwitche Naamwin Je is a contemporary gyil piece, written by Ba-ere Yotere of the Lobi/Brifo nation of Northern Ghana.
It is orchestrated, by SNL’s L. Leon Pendarvis, and was premiered by the Enid Symphony in Oklahoma.

Written in two parts, Part I features attractive melodies and metric modulations moving around a relentless hemiola in the gyil part. Part II is a bluesy lyrical theme and variations.
Advanced/professional – not a fast study.
