The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is not only
about enjoying yourselves. The
African Children’s Choir is testament to this.
The
children are selected from Uganda, Kenya, South Africa, Rwanda,
Nigeria and Ghana they range from the ages of seven to eleven years
old. Fourteen girls and twelve boys they sing, dance and drum to
entertain people all over the world and raise funds or the
Orchestra, Music for Life Camps and Music for Life Centres where the
children are trained and educated. We would probably not comprehend
some of the backgrounds these children come from.
So
much for the background now the show.
These
gorgeous smiling children sing from the heart music, which is wide
and varied. From traditional African numbers to Christian hymns and
my personal favourite Shadowlands from the musical 'The Lion King'.
We also see four older singers two of which have been through the
programme and come back to help and perform.
Only
on for a very limited run I was very glad to have seen these glowing
faces and hear these heavenly voices.
