Rwanda Sda Choir Songs Download [TOP]

Gospel music as we know it today was an unknown entity until the mid-1990s. It should be noted that the live and recorded music people enjoy today is a relatively recent development, and it has also had a positive influence on the progress of gospel music since many people now have access to many varieties of the genre. Prior to the insidious 1994 genocide against the Tutsi, gospel music was mostly heard in popular churches and was performed mainly by church choirs during Mass. There were limited gospel shows or media coverage.

In present-day Rwanda, a ride in one of the taxis that traverse Kigali will expose you to music by church-affiliated choirs. Several taxi drivers carry Rwandan gospel music on their flash disks, which the play as they ferry passengers from place to place.

It's worth mentioning that with the progress of the other genres, choir music could only get better and more diverse. A number of choirs have earned recognition, like the Maranatha Family Choir[v], which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2014 with a remarkable concert.

The African Children's Choir is a large choir composed of children ages 7 to 12 from several African nations.[citation needed] Since its inception, the choir has included children from Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, Nigeria, and Ghana.[citation needed] Many of the children have lost one or both parents to AIDS and other poverty-related diseases, and all of them are victims of extreme poverty.[citation needed]The choir is a Christian organization and one of its principles is "instilling Christian principles through teaching and leading by example."[citation needed]

The choir has released a number of albums and DVDs over the years, and has performed at major events and venues around the world.[citation needed] The choir has appeared at the British House of Commons and the Pentagon, at some of the world's most prestigious halls, including the Royal Albert Hall, the London Palladium, the International Club of Berlin and the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels, Belgium. They also performed with Christian music legend, Bill Gaither, in his Gaither Homecoming series.[citation needed]

In 2005, the choir achieved increased worldwide visibility through several highly publicized performances.[citation needed] They performed at the Live 8 concert in London with Mariah Carey, and were featured on The Tonight Show and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.[citation needed] In 2006, they performed at an event for one.org and before the United Nations for its UNAIDS summit.[citation needed] In December 2006, they made a second appearance on The Tonight Show.[citation needed]

In 2007, the choir performed with the band Dispatch for three sold-out concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York.[citation needed]The African Children's Choir toured in Australia at the Queensland Youth Symphony at Queensland Music Festival.1999[citation needed]

In 2008, the choir sang for former President George W. Bush and recorded with Michael W. Smith.[citation needed] On 29 September 2009, the choir celebrated their 25th Anniversary at the Hotel Vancouver in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where the choir held their first performance 25 years before.[citation needed] Special guests at the event included Bob Geldof, who used to live in Vancouver, where he used to work for the Georgia Straight, Paul Rodgers and Michael McDonald.[citation needed]

Also in 2009, the choir performed for Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II and Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni at Commonwealth Day in London, England.[citation needed] Alicia Keys sang with the choir at Black Ball Gala.[citation needed]

The choir sang for US Global Leadership Coalition honoring former First Lady and Senator Hillary Clinton.[citation needed]The choir sang "All You Need is Love" for the Playing for Change Campaign.[citation needed]

The choir were part of the "Commonwealth Band" who performed with the Military Wives at the Diamond Jubilee Concert in 2012.[citation needed]The choir also performed with two other choirs from the United States and France singing "What a Wonderful World" for the Playing for Change campaign.[citation needed]

These schools are part of the Music for Life Program that assists children (who are not in the choir) and their communities.[citation needed] These schools have either been built by, or have been financially supported by sponsors.[citation needed] The first of these schools was the African Outreach Academy in Uganda, which served as a community support model in 1984 and was the original home of the African Children's Choir.[citation needed]

The Nebraska Wesleyan University Choir is a select 49-voice ensemble. Since 1977, the choir has undertaken nine foreign concert tours and two choral residencies in Hawaii in addition to annual concert tours throughout the United States. This summer the choir will take an international tour to Spain where they will perform in Barcelona, Valencia, Granada and Malaga.

They were the first American choir to perform in universities and conservatories in Romania and the first American choir invited to participate in the St. Petersburg, Russia International Choral Festival. They have performed at Carnegie Music Hall in New York City four times in eight years and twice in Avery Fisher Hall, Lincoln Center in New York.

The choir has performed with the Munich Symphony Orchestra, the Omaha Symphony Orchestra, Lincoln Symphony Orchestra, and was the first collegiate choir from Nebraska selected to perform at the American Choral Directors Association National Convention.

A decade and a half after the genocide that decimated Rwanda, the country appears quite peaceful; prosperous, even. Aid workers in shiny 4x4s may still be conspicuous on the streets of its capital, Kigali, but more cheerful are the guys in bright-yellow tabards flogging pay-as-you-go airtime on the street corners, cashing in on Africa's mobile-phone boom. And, if you listen closely, there is another hopeful sign that this small east African republic is attempting to put the horrors of 1994 behind it: the sound of choirs and the inanga, the region's zither-like instrument; of hip-hop and rootsy reggae.

Dicken Marshall is an accomplished musician and producer who has been writing music and playing in bands since he was a teenager. At 22, he built his own studio from scratch. Marshall knew he had to do something after hearing about a Rwandan choir being ripped off. "A friend [from Rwanda who had stayed with Marshall's family during the genocide] told me about a choir of orphans who'd paid a lot of money to record an album, had their recordings stolen, then had to spend a lot of money chasing it down. The story stayed in my head."

Marshall realised that the choir could have bought basic recording equipment for the amount they were conned out of. "I don't like doing things by halves, so I decided to come to Kigali and build a state-of-the-art studio for local musicians. It quickly turned into a big project, with all the publicity I got for fundraising concerts in the UK and then getting manufacturers involved, who gave me heavy discounts or gifts of equipment." Marshall and his volunteers eventually raised 15,000. "Then I came over in January 2009 and built the studio and had a week to record the choir." Marshall brought the recording back to Britain to add music. "I had been told there were no musicians in Rwanda, which of course was rubbish."

The Solace Studio was built as an income-generating scheme for the charity Solace Ministries, which owned the building where it was located. When the choir's album was finished, the studio, Marshall realised, needed proper management. So he returned to record other musicians and work with local producers. "This was when I realised that a lot of musicians couldn't afford to use the studio, and there was actually no music business to speak of in Rwanda that could work sustainably. I tried to get the charity and local musicians to set up their own collective, but they said, 'No you do it!'"

At seven, Bosco began to teach other children to sing and dance and formed a troupe, which came second place in a culture music competition. It was after this that Sentore (see page 18) heard about him and asked the nine-year-old to return from exile in Burundi. "As he was a friend of my father, we came. He taught me to play the inanga and I sang in church and eventually toured the US with an orphan's choir. When we came back I met with Dicken [Marshall] as I was coming to Solace to train other kids, and he began to record me.

"I cannot dance any more, so these days I train other dancers, but I have my own troupe, and I would love to travel to the UK because my music and dance is not known there. I want them to see our culture, to show them properly, and for our songs to be heard."

"When the genocide started," remembers Herv, 26. "I was 10 years old and I was aware of what was happening in my country. I lost my entire family. Afterwards I went through each day looking at death, but I think I coped. I continued my studies but I used to go to school without even books to write on. I did finish my secondary studies in maths and physics and got a scholarship to continue. And then I joined the choir."

Born in Luweero 51 years ago, Ssozi now calls Rwanda his home. In Rwanda, Ssozi is a celebrity music composer whose stature has lifted gospel music, especially choir music, to considerable heights. While Pentecostal RnB artiste Aim Uwimana is credited for pioneering the modern form of Rwandan gospel, Ssozi triggered a new wave for choir music.

Ssozi travelled to Kigali and one of the first acts was to play the piano, a job he says was excellently executed with enthusiastic backing from John Kanimba, the choir patron.

Kigozi was the music trainer while Kanimba used to cater to the choir needs and paid a stipend to the two expatriates. 17dc91bb1f
