An adaptation of the "traditional 'juba' hand-clapping games [which] originated in Nigeria. The many rhymes and clapping patterns were remembered and passed along as a way of preserving something comforting and familiar from home. In North America, the games were often transformed into work songs by African-American slaves. Juba this, Juba that was among the most popular of these chants and is still a favorite with children today"--Dust jacket flap.
