Opela - We Are Here to Sing
In Namibia, singing is ever-present wherever you go. People sing almost everywhere, at work, at celebrations, as a way of expressing joy or sorrow, or as a means of passing on traditional stories by word of mouth. There is a suitable repertoire for every occasion. The songs in this collection are marvelously suitable for part singing without piano accompaniment, both for experiences choirs and for unpracticed "not-yet-singers". The colorful melodies and the simple but lively arrangements can be learned within a very short time and then performed immediately, for example as a creative contribution to a religious service. At the same time, the musical material is so rich in content that imaginative choirs can develop it into rousing concert pieces.
