Wala - Songroom concert

Read More Add to Calendar 10/31/2022 02:20 PM 10/31/2022 03:00 PM Australia/Melbourne Wala - Songroom concert

Students have been working with Abli learning about African drumming in our Songroom music sessions. As part of this program, Songroom have organised a special performance from Abli's group 'Wala'. A description of the concert is below;

A dynamic fusion of drumming, dance, percussion and soaring vocal harmonies. Three passionate, exuberant and talented performers present audiences with an exciting display of Ghanaian culture.

With 15 hand-made African drums, flutes and stunning costumes, WALA engage their audiences in a call and response song, invite them to try out different instruments and to join in the dance.

Their enthusiasm is utterly contagious as they rejoice in the live sounds and rich heritage of their people.

WALA means "life" in their local language and the perfection of the name becomes clear as they explode into their breathtaking celebration of the Ghanaian Spirit.


When: 2:20 - 3:10pm, Monday 31st October

Venue: WPS Gymnasium

Come along and enjoy the concert with us. Students will return to their classes to be collected as normal at 3:15pm.
