Sing for Freedom


“Throughout the struggle, there was music.“ ~ From Amandla, A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony

This dvd was enlightening tonight as to the role of freedom music and dance during the years of oppression and apartheid in South Africa. The activists and musicians tell their tales of journeying through song and the importance of music in keeping their spirits free. I was inspired by these stories and the dvd is well done, showing the major events of apartheid and how music influenced people's response.

Singing or dancing when you need to rise against something is a good practice. Have you ever tried it?

Peace,

Suzanne
