Choirs in Celebration

“Sing to the Lord, you saints of His; praise His holy name.” Psalm 30:4

The Choirs here in Tanzania are wonderful to both to hear and watch. They are in constant movement, in unison and in rhythm! Performing for the Celebration of the service of the retiring Archbishop Mtetemela where three Choirs; the choir from the parish h that meets in the Chapel at SJUT:

Two choirs from the Anglican Cathedral.

The Choir below preformed in two styles, one traditional with matching dark navy suits, men and women, very conservative. They then broke and “changed” into the traditional Gogo tribal performance costume which for women was a strapless black shift with beads and for the men a large red plaid cloth tied at the shoulder.

The Leader added feathers on the arm and danced and played the trumpet. I have a very bad picture as he was moving very fast! I am hoping one day to see a village performance. Yesterday I was invited to see another Gogo choir perform as they where being filmed on a hilltop as the sun was setting, lovely. They also preformed in a simple navy skirt/pants and blue shirt and tennis shoes. I have no pictures to share but hope to at some point as they will be joining in a celebration of an upcoming opening for a local company.
