about
Ojo maa ro is an African playground song that children sing during the dry season. It is a prayer to ask for the showers when everywhere is dry and dusty. Parents and storytellers can clap and dance to the gentle music, or play a percussion instrument to the rhythm.

You are refreshing
Plants cannot grow if you do not fall
Corn cannot grow if you do not fall
I cannot be healthy if you do not fall
I cannot have enough to eat
