The Rosa Choir: Celebrating a decade of breaking cultural barriers

by | Sep 19, 2022 | Podcast

It’s a big year for the Rosa Choir.

The group is celebrating a decade of delivering moving performances, advocating for diversity and lifelong friendships.

The Cape Cultural Collective started the choir, and its formation was inspired by an English and Xhosa translation of the iconic Dutch/Afrikaans song Rosa.

Over the decade, the choir has grown steadily and contributed to positive change and youth development by establishing the junior Rosa Choir in 2016.

The junior choir consists of around 40 children from Hout Bay, Langa and Manenberg.

The choir has performed and graced many stages in Cape Town and hopes to expand its reach across the country and beyond.
