we were singing, Giok, singing and listening to beautiful music, as it was, is and ever shall be, world without lightbulbs, amen.
It was the 20th anniversary of the Solidarity Choir at a local town hall.The Solidarity Choir was formed in 1987 to sing Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika at the Sydney Town Hall as part of the Civic Welcome for Oliver Tambo, the then-exiled President of the African National Congress. During the blackout, we listened to Ecopella, and when the lights came on the amazing "Voices from a Vacant Lot".
you can hear samples of Solidarity singing here ..
