Celebrating African Song Tour

Throughout Southern Africa, traditional music has been fading into obscurity as it is ignored, this music is fighting attention of the consumer, media, clamoring and competing with easy to digest commercial and `hip` modern sounds. Through the movement of time, our ethnic music has been pulled and prodded and changed under the overpowering influences of modernity. With the slow introduction of the influences from foreign visitors and establishment of western churches in the rural Eastern Cape has seen the demise of original IsiXhosa music. Through the show `Celebrating African Song`, we will treat the iconic music of our elders which has been passed down from generation and conserved through years and remains a major part of the identity of the people of the Eastern Cape. NTSIKA will be guesting in this show, and his music is very much in the theme.
