The Catholic Church Choir

Hello! We just wanted to share with you the wonderful voices of the Catholic Church Choir here in Kitongo. They practice at another house less than 100m away. They practice three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. It was these guys we were supposed to see last Saturday when we got confused between Western and Swahili time!

Anyway, their voices are amazing, and it was a privilege to see and hear them. We been to a few practices (to listen), and may well go an pop along to the Catholic Church to see them properly. In the video clips you will also see how adaptable they are and how they deal with their kids! You will also notice that there is only one bloke. There are other male singers, but I think they come along on other days. Watch out for:
  • The two women breastfeeding whilst singing (one is blatantly obvious!)
  • Esther wandering and adding her own words
  • Lucy trying to keep an eye on Esther
  • Wandering chickens
  • Other kids wandering through and joining in!
In total the four clips are about 15ish minutes long, but well worth it. Turn up the volume! :-)
