Chants, melodies, lullabies — LEKA in song.

🌱 This whole section is in progress.

Why Songs Matter

Songs carry language across generations more effectively than speech. They:

• Lock in pronunciation and stress (penultimate stress fits naturally with music)
• Spread vocabulary through repetition
• Make culture portable
• Belong to everyone who can sing them
