If you'd like to introduce your pupils to the annual African-American  celebration Kwanzaa, from 26 December to 1 January, these articles, an audio sketch and festive music interactive can help you.

This interactive feature from the Smithsonian has examples of celebration songs from different cultures in the U.S.A. and around the world.
