What you need to know:
The choir was invited to South Africa by the Kenyan High Commission and it also visited Swaziland.
Directed by maestro June Ogolla, the choir entertained audiences with numbers such as Kenya “Hakuna Matata” as well as “Kenya Nchi Yetu”.
The aim of the visit is to enhance global intercultural dialogue and promote Brand Kenya.
A lively choir, beautiful renditions, synchronised dances and a taste of Kenyan patriotic songs were the highlight of cultural performances in South Africa, where the State House Choir staged a series of shows in Pretoria, Johannesburg and Swaziland.
The eight-day cultural trip began on April 25 and ended on May 2, with performances of Gospel music, Contemporary music, Kenyan Patriotic music, Folk arrangement and Zilizopendwa (Adaptations of old time tunes).
