Alleluia - Africa is the first section of a large scale Alleluia that uses a central melody for the Alleluia and various indigenous and religious traditions in their hymns of praise.

This work emphasizes the universal aspect of praise that lies beyond religious and social differences. The text for this segment is drawn from an Afro-Cuban praise song and it's accompanying rhythm "Iyesa".
