FROM GOSPEL TO MARABI

The Performance traces the arrival of Western Religion to Africans through the eyes of an ordinary girl turned woman. It tells how Western Religion was accepted (through Western Traditional Music) , assimilated (through contemporary / Jazz / Gospel Music and ) ,and adapted to suit our conditions and needs (through Shembe Music and Dance). It also takes a stance of saying I as the African, if I want to, I observe my traditional roots unapologetically (through Traditional Music and Cultural Educational expose’). It also tells the background stories of how chants such as “Sawubona Wethu” came to be. It highlights through song, and physical exhibition our Heritage.
