O H L A N G E Z U L U C H O I R .

T h e Z u lu ch o ir o f the O h la n g e T ra in in g Institution, Phoenix* Natal, under the con du ctorsh ip o f M r . R. I . Caluza , one o f the teachers at O h la n g e , visited G reat Britain in 19 50 for the purpose o f m aking p h o n og ra p h ic records fo r H is M aster ’ s \ o ice G ra m o p h o n e C om p a n y . T h e ch o ir also sang to large audiences in public halls. T h e ch o ir was com p osed o f ten singers.

A n educated A m erican n egro writes: ^ hen an observer entersa room and sees them f o r the first tim e, or w h en thev appear upon the stage f o r the first t im e, disillusion begins instantlv , for our geographers and travel manuals have g iven each o f us certain m ental pictures o f the Zulus, and w e are quite un prepared to see persons in co lou r , fo r m , and features n ot unlike ourselves. F or all purposes in the States, this grou p m ig h t have been any grou p o f so-called ‘ C o lou red persons.’ W h e n they arc costum ed or u n costum cd , as on e observer phrased it, there arc resemblances to the native pictures w ith vrhich w e are accustom ed.

f< A ga in , contrarv to the point o f v ie w o f the average m an, they arc a cultured group . A ll o f them arc y o u th fu l and seem ambitious to con tin u e in tra in ing so as to im prove their talents. T h e con d u ctor insisted, d u rin g a speech w h ich he gave in on e o f his concerts that the singers are not ‘ pro fess ion a l, ’ but he said, * WTe o n ly use our natural g ifts . ’ ”

M r . Caluza has com p osed all the songs sung by this ch o ir , the accom panim ents as w ell as the parts. T h e Z u lu C h o ir is on ly o n e o f tnanv such choirs in South A fr ica . T h e r e are choirs in South A fr ic a w ith as m any as 150 m ix e d voices. Som e o f these choirs sing on lv classical m usic, and some very favourable com m en ts have been passed bv em in en t musicians, in c lu d in g Bs.M us. 1 here is a general in clination to im prove A fr ica n music. T h e r e arc also a nu m ber o f prom ising m usic composers, but, un fortu nate ly , there is n o school o f music in South A fr ic a to w h ich prom ising y o u n g musicians cou ld g o for fu rth er training. So far the A fr ica n just makes use o f h;s natural g ifts , and in some cases, like the late J. K n o x Bokw e, b e ­com es celebrated. It seems surprising that w ith all the progress the black man has made in A fr ica , he has not yet m ade an attempt to open an institution w hose sole business w ou ld be to im prove and cultivate the w on d er fu l natural g i f t he is. so justly proud o f . But it seems clear that the A fr ica n is still g o in g to surprise the w o r ld w ith his music.
