Choral brings down the House

Jonathan Tawana, a final-year music student specializing in traditional stringed instruments, brought his group from the University of Pretoria for a rapid grand tour by bus to Botswana. After the Opera House they were due to give performances at Francistown, Maun, Kasane and then after a two day rest to see game, then back in Gaborone at the Fairgrounds on Thursday November. Perhaps by Thursday he will have found Jrgen Schpf's  The Serankure and Music in Tlkweng, Botswana.

Delayed because of the heavy traffic, they eventually performed non-stop for one hour, running through various song and dance routines in the eleven official languages of South Africa accompanied by two small, stocky bald drummers, then ended with only two of the promised three Christmas carols.
