It is not usually easy to pull up a gospel event especially on a Friday night but that did not seem to be the case as the Gaborone International Music and Culture (GIMC) Clap and Tap turned out pretty well.

Of all the other GIMC events, Clap and Tap is only one that focuses on celebrating God. Realising that it was Friday, one would have thought the attendance would be low, but people showed up in large numbers to celebrate and cherish God.

The night proved to be worthwhile for the gospel fanatics as they had to enjoy captivating performances from their favourite choir groups. Just like any church service, the night started with a prayer. Dineo Tsa Tumelo was the first choir to get on to the stage and from the onset, the choir group kept people entertained throughout the entire performance.

More choirs came in and delivered their performances but Lejwe La Motheo came and set the bar high with their performance. When Lejwe la Motheo took to the stage, people got off their seats and danced to the melodies. Ditsala Moreneng, another gospel choir on the line-up took to the stage after Lejwe la Motheo and did what was expected of them.

Ditsala Moreneng took off from where Lejwe la Motheo had left and also kept people captivated. Performances went by throughout the night with people still singing along to their favourite songs. To put the cherry on top for the gospel enthusiasts, they got to enjoy performances for the second time from their favourite performers on the night, as all choirs on the night performed two times. Other performances on the night came from St John, Metsimotlhabe and Baitshepi Ba Jesu.

As it is a norm that what starts with a prayer always ends with a prayer, the GIMC Clap and Tap ended with a prayer.
