University of Namibia Choir
UNAM Choir
This well known University of Namibia Choir has since its inception in 1982 demonstrated its skills to perform in an alternative style. Its style became a choreographed exercise to complement music and text with poetic and dramatic movement to structure various visual stage compositions, telling a story. The choir has made its mark nationally, with performances through out the whole country and in furtherer fields touring places like Germany, Scotland, France, Belgium as well as United States of America. They have taken part in festivals and won competitions. Unam Choir, in a vibrant, vital and energetic fashion, delivers sketches from a typical Namibian/African ritual, filled with melody, harmony and glorious sound. UNAM Choir has released 3 CDs – Aluboke Namibia (‘Praise to Namibia’), Ti /Gores (‘My Prayer’) and Ondjila (The Way’ or ‘The Road’). The Choir has about 80 members in the typical tradition of African choirs. They mostly sing acapella with accompaniment on African drums/ percussion.
