The title of the African traditional song Malaika is Swahili for "My angel", and the song achieved international fame through the South African singer Miriam Makeba. Numerous other performers have taken up the piece and aroused the enthusiasm of their audiences with this tender love song. These new English lyrics by Stuart Smith tell the sad story of a young man who feels unable to marry his beloved because he is too poor. Gwyn Arch's choral arrangement has produced an impressive rendering, full of gentle humour, of the dialogue between the two lovers.
