In this scene, Gumbo prances around thanking various animals and insects as they trek through the Everglades. Can you imagine this in your mind as an animation movie and musical?
Ezemdi Chikwendu sang it and Andy Ellis Valdini arranged and performed the instrumentals. Andy also arranged the “Today is a very Special Day” song. Ziv mixed and mastered the demo. I thank all of them for doing such a wonderful job.
I hope you enjoy it and sing along.
