Religion Meets Tradition At Maitisong

Choral music lovers and Christians thronged the Maitisong Hall last Saturday to support the United Congregational Council of Southern Africa (UCCSA) Broadhurst Choir prepare for the forthcoming international show in Italy in September.

To the delight of every organiser, the Trinity Choir, Mogwana traditional dance group, and Corpus Christi Choir from the Broadhurst Roman Catholic Church turned up in full force. The all-embracing choir has come with a special blend of music that their producer and conductor Omphemetse Chimbombi calls 'religious traditional music'. Chimbombi, who came up with the concept, says that they then roped in Mogwana "and the marriage has been a huge success so far".


When asked if they were not 'polluting' religious music with secular music, the chairperson quipped: "Most members of Mogwana are Christians from different churches. What we have just done is to integrate our tradition into our religion to show that we pride ourselves in both of them."
