Sweden sweet sounds meet
UnizuluPhumlani Nkwanyana
The
University of Zululand had a top class celebration with a well-known choir from
Stockholm, Sweden. This magnificent gathering was held at the world-class
wetland, iSimangaliso, St Lucia. Due to the eruption of strike on campus this
concert, which was scheduled to be at BZ, was moved to St Lucia.
The
Choral Society from Unizulu joined the Europeans at the shore of the lake, St
Lucia estuary, and enjoyed the brilliant overhead sun. Both choirs shred their
music, as birds joined them with their sweet sound. The Swedes had an
opportunity to learn some Zulu words which were added to spice up the gathering.
Unizulu’s media co-coordinator, Clare Taylor, said, “It was a meeting of
opposites producing a new fusion sound and marking the beginning of a
relationship of musical discovery, promoting harmony between people from
countries far apart through a new form of diplomacy”.
A strong and solid
bond was created between these two choirs, and a common ground was reached to
take choral music to greater heights. Unizulu choral society is currently the
champions of choral music throughout South Africa, after beating all
Universities in South Africa. The society is still scooping trophies in many
choral competitions across the country.
