Lizwi Choir lizwi.
Lizwi Choir gathered at 16 on Lerotholi gallery in Langa, in front of large charcoal works by artist Yamkela Mandlevu.
Our thanks to 16 on Lerotholi for hosting this rehearsal, and to artist Yamkela Mandlevu, whose exhibition Common Grounds surrounded us as we sang.

We came together as young people in Khayelitsha. Most of us are founding members; one or two joined us a little later. Headshots and bios are being added as we capture them — taken at our own rehearsals, shared in our own words.
