"Kumbaya is Angolan dialect for "Come by here". Frey wrote the gospel chorus "Come By Here" in the 1930's. A missionary couple learned the song & used it in their work in Angola. When the song returned to the U.S., its original source had been lost. Joan Baez & Weavers have recorded it along with others.
