GUYANA’S NATIONAL SONGS
GUYANA’S NATIONAL SONGS
- Oh Beautiful Guyana
- My Guyana El Dorado
- My Native Land
- The Song of Guyana’s Children
OH BEAUTIFUL GUYANA
Oh my lovely native land
More dear to me than all the world
Thy sun-washed, sun-kissed strand
Or down upon the borders
Looking out upon the deep
The great Atlantic
Blown into a fury or asleep
At morn, at noon – or better
In the crimson sunset’s glow
I love thee, Oh I love thee.

“A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song”- Maya Angelou

In a country full of colorful exotic songbirds, perhaps Guyana’s best-known avian songster is the little tanager finch called the Towa- Towa {Twa-Twa}.This chestnut-bellied seed finch (Oryzoborus angolensis) is a species of bird in the Thraupidae family but was until recently placed in the Emberizidae.
It is found widely in shrubby and grassy areas of Guyana and throughout South America. The mellifluous singing ability of this delightful songbird is prized by many bird lovers, making it the most popular cage bird in Guyana.
