Chorale Sainte Famille, Mont Sion Gikungu in Bujumbura

Singing and Dancing for Peace and Reconciliation
About 120 young members belong to the “Chorale Sainte Familie from Mont Sion Gikungu, Bujumbura, Burundi.  Primary and secondary school pupils, as well as university students and adults with a variety of professions, practise “unity in diversity”.

The choir has its own composers and artists at its disposal as well as a broad repertory of songs, much appreciated too by other choirs.  The group “Umuryango” devotes itself to traditional dances and songs with the theme “Reconciliation”. They take part in national concerts on reconciliation and peace, and have already won several prizes.

In order for their  peace songs to be heard by a wide audience, a CD recording is planned as well as concerts in Gitega and other places inland.  We expect to fulfil this wish through contributions from the S.E.R.  Foundation 2006/2007.
