Craig McLeish - South African Song - Stories of Struggle and Freedom (with stories from Eugene Skeef)

Milton Keynes Community Choir leader Craig McLeish explores what makes South African song so compelling.

What lies behind the harmonies that are such a joy to sing? Why can we sometimes not translate the words? And who do the songs belong to? 

With video contributions from renowned composer, poet, percussionist and educator Eugene Skeef, former personal assistant to Steve Biko, Craig will try to provide some of the answers.

Come and sing and hear the stories that shed new light on one of the world's most fascinating areas of creativity and expression.
