…or, in English, teaching each other songs in our languages!
At Beloved Beadwork we are proudly, and I mean proudly Pan-African (and a token European, ie me!). I felt a real sense of pride in that philosophy today, when E came in and reported that she had taught the Xhosa song she learnt at work to her (largely Congolese) church, and they loved it.
She asked for more, and I found recordings from Freedom Is In Your Hand in my computer. My own journey to South Africa started with singing Xhosa choruses in an old church on a tiny Scottish island aged ten, and today I revelled in music’s ability to unite people.
A joyous day.
