My friend and I had the pleasure of witnessing a spectacular voice performance at The Canteen on Sunday afternoon. Teachers from Project Zulu performed some South African folk music and dance while everybody was enjoying the sun at the terrace. Dressed in colourful outfits, they sang around 8 songs, together with the noises they could make with hands and feet. They were raising money for some solar panels for an African school and people seem to be more than happy to donate a couple of pounds.
The Project Zulu's aim is to bring the choir and dancers from a school in Kwazulu-Natal (South Africa) to the UK for a three week concert tour in Summer 2013 to raise money for the school. They will earn the fund to install solar panels on the school roof by performing here. You can make a donation in their website. They have recently recorded an album which is now available for download. You can listen to some track previous and purchase the album here.
They will be performing in Colston Hall next Thursday, 6th June. This gala concert, shared with some of the region’s finest youth ensembles from Bristol Cathedral Choir School, Clifton College Preparatory School and The University of the West of England, is the finale to their three week UK tour. Tickets are worth £8 (£5 concessions) for an extraordinary ensemble of singing, drumming and dancing children from Sithobelumthetho Primary School in the Madadeni Township, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
