Artist Workshop with Sinini Ngwenya

Whilst we await the start of our New Musical Director, we invited the amazing Sinini Ngwenya to lead us energetically into traditional song from Zimbabwe.

We started by learning “lamulela” which is a prayer song asking god to come save us from earthly Sufferings.

Lamulela bantu bakho bayakhala translates to “save your people they are crying/praying.

As the choir sings, Sinini continues to address the cry from hunger and endless wars.

Sinini’s energy was highly infectious, and a wonderful time was had by all. Feel free to show him some support over on his social media accounts.

Bradford Street Choirs Festival 2025

Here we are singing “Zidele Amathambo” at the Bradford War Memorial, led by our now retired musical director Liz Nicholas.

Zidele Amathambo is a Zulu phrase meaning “give yourself away-bones and all”. It implies a complete and selfless giving, not just of effort, but of ones entire being. It suggests taking a chance, putting your heart and soul into something, and holding nothing back.
