This year the Sedibeng will be celebrating in a much bigger and spectacular way than before, as I'm also going to take part in this big choral event with my choir St Joseph catholic youth choir. We will be performing Xinkanka under the developmental choirs, a tsonga song about the war that happened in 1939. The composer is talking about how people go on their lives without God, whereas anything without God is pointless. The way things were done in the past and how the youth of today should change their ways of which of course by praying and consulting our elders when ever we are in doubt. The other song that will be performed in the developmental category is the western piece called Danny boy, Danny boy is the son who has to leave and this is the lament of the parent left behind fearful of never seeing him again before he/she dies. It is originally written from a mother's perspective it's as commonly sung by men now.
The tickets will be sold at the door on the day of the festival which is the 24th March 2012. The doors open at 1pm
