The kids are between the ages of 12 and 14 and are from
local schools.
The group was in London before, in 2013, but they left such
an indelible impression and will render eight performances in all. They will
also partake in workshops. While there they will be accommodated in the
community of Lambrook.
Patience Mkhabela, one of the music tutors at the JWCC who
will accompany the group said they are looking forward to mesmerise London with
African rhythms. “We are going to set London on fire,” she said ahead of their
tour. The half-hour performances are made up of mainly African renditions with
a few European fair. “We look forward to see Big Ben, Trafalgar and Parliament
Squares and maybe the Buckingham Palace.”
