When Odwa Mvunge return to his birth community in 2012, after completing his music education studies at Nelson Mandela University, not much has changed. There still was no place in Zolani for the youth to express themselves in cultural activities that was not offered at school nor in the community. After school the youth would loiter around without direction. This lead to the formation of the Zolani Youth Choir. The basic idea and purpose of the Choir is to equip youth of our community with basic music skills.

We aim to be a serious performing chorus in due course. We have had a very successful 2012 and hope for even better in 2013 where we have a whole host of exciting things planned. Stay tuned! We'd very much be interested in meeting/collaborating with other Choirs in our area. We are on Facebook so have a little look and maybe come and sing a few baas with us!  less

Today it is often sung at Georgian weddings in honour of the bride. You are a vineyard Just blossoming, Young and good, Springing up in Eden. A fragrant poplar, Growing in Paradise. May God adorn you, None is more worthy of praise. You yourself, Are the sun brilliantly shining.  

"Ask and It Shall be Given" by Jonathan Adams. Performed by the Arkansas State Univ. Concert Choir, Dr. Dale Miller, conductor. Available from Pavane Publishing, P1530.
