In order to revive the not so popular Clap- and-Tap music in Botswana, Lighthouse Theatre Production will host a Clap and Tap music festival on September 24 at Botho University.

The festival will assemble two local choirs, Maatla Gospel Choir and Ditsala Moreneng. In order to add more spice to the Clap-and-Tap festival, Lejwe La Motheo Gospel Choir from South Africa will also be part of the festival.

Clap-and-Tap music has similarities of both traditional gospel music and choral music, but Clap-and-Tap has no instruments and it combines vocals with clapping hands in a way that creates a fine tune and tempo.
