Significance of Christmas Music
For Zwai, Christmas music holds a deep, personal connection, stemming from childhood experiences in a Christian household. Traditions included going to church and enjoying a festive lunch. He reminisced about the contrast in church music between different denominations, particularly his memorable experience at an Anglican church where Christmas carols were abundant.
His formal musical training further instilled a love for holiday music, especially during the Noel tour at choir school, where various arrangements of carols were performed across South Africa.
Bala Voices: The Youth Ensemble
The concert will also introduce Bala Voices, a youth vocal group mentored by The Bala Family. Attendees can look forward to a blend of traditional and reimagined Christmas songs, infused with African soul and rich storytelling, making for unforgettable holiday entertainment.
