African Vocals, an a cappella band from Mondesa, Swakopmund, announces a fundraising concert on 1st of September 2018, in the Hall of Namib Primary School, Swakopmund, starting at 7 pm.
Funds shall be raised for the third Germany tour the group is planning for May 2019, after tours to Germany in 2014 and 2017.
The band consists of ten young men between 21 and 28, they all started as singers in school, church and youth choirs, and in 2012 the „African Vocals“ were founded as a male a cappella band. Since then they are on a double mission. They want to show the true and authentic Namibian culture, music, traditions and spirit to the world and convey a positive image of Africa in general. But with their background in a township, they also want to give hope, inspiration and encouragement to young people with the same background, to have a dream and to work hard for it. That is why the group always donates a share of the tour income to charity projects in Mondesa, to give back to the community.
For their fundraising concert the African Vocals were lucky to win several guests as supporters. So the Marimba Group of the Mondesa Youth Opportunities (MYO) will perform as well as the Swakopmunder Männergesangsverein (SMGV), the oldest male choir in Namibia.
As special guest African Vocals are honoured and happy to welcome the well-known Namibian artist Elemotho, who is a big believer in youth development and cultural heritage, and who did not hesitate to give his support and confirm his participation in the concert.
Tickets are for 80 N$ and will be available from 6th August.
