More about this title
About the Composer: Aliaune Thiam
Aliaune Thiam, known professionally as Akon, is a Senegalese-American artist and producer who shaped pop music in the 2000s through his distinctive vocal style and collaborative songwriting. Beyond his solo work, Thiam has become a prolific behind-the-scenes force, co-writing and producing hits for major artists across multiple genres, bringing rhythmic sophistication and melodic hooks to mainstream pop.
Why we love this
Paul Murtha's arrangement captures the irresistible energy that makes this song work without oversimplifying the instrumentation. Grades 2-3 bands get to play something their friends actually know, which changes everything about motivation and attendance at rehearsals.
What to expect
Infectious and propulsive, with the kind of groove that makes people move without thinking. The arrangement sits somewhere between modern pop energy and traditional marching band structure, never letting the tempo drag or the excitement flatten.
Who it's for
Marching bands at the 2-3 grade level who want accessible, high-energy material that resonates with current popular culture. Ensembles with active auxiliary and dance components will find this arrangement especially rewarding since it gives those groups meaningful musical moments.
How to get the most out of it
- Keep the rhythm section locked tight on the syncopated hits; even a fraction of a beat's hesitation will make the entire arrangement sag.
- Feature your auxiliary groups and dance team front and center during the opening section; this is their moment to shine alongside the band.
- Emphasize the contrast between the verse grooves and the chorus energy by adjusting dynamics and articulation rather than just tempo changes.
- Balance the melodic lines in the upper voices against the driving foundation so the hook stays clear without feeling thin.
How to use it
Place this early in a pops concert or late-spring festival program where you need an immediate momentum shift; it works as either an opener that grabs attention or a closer that sends the audience out smiling. The contemporary source material makes it ideal for community engagement performances or shows aimed at younger audiences.
Skills your students will build
- Syncopated rhythmic precision in ensemble settings
- Sectional balance when multiple melodic lines share equal importance
- Articulation clarity on repeated rhythmic figures
- Coordination with visual elements (auxiliary groups, dance choreography)
- Groove awareness and maintaining energy through repetitive material
