Are far far that are similar are wonderful theyre just out of this world so its like weve known each of the forever and its amazing how both those different worlds a coming together and working as one by just 6 just 6 have an incredibly velvety very refined sound to have high end klang hats. And. Then to. Johannesburg south africas largest city the metropolis is full of contrasts. Its a center of crime and wealth. For neighborhoods known as the townships right next door to Office Towers 4 and a half 1000000 people live here. Ok today johannesburg is playing host to a special encounter. To a capella in some ways from 2 different continents have come together c. L. O. From life 6 germany and just 6 from Johannesburg South africa. For a week these 6 women and 6 men will join forces to create a common repertoire. Well. Hope to. Each group brings its own musical tradition with it as well as curiosity about the others this in your strum c. L. A have a broad musical education just 6 learn by ear without sheet music they rely on their musicality and intuition will see a classical repertoire fit with the african beats of just 6 right thats all beautiful because then it just like out comes on top of what were doing. With the rhythm what we do with. It is that you joined us make this very basic. You dont proofread. What. Is it that. The workshop is being led by marcus debtor vic from germany an expert on South African vocal music hes here to help bring the groups together we know as a consumer student because for something in principle they could also do it alone i think my role is just to organize things a bit. There are 3 or 4 really strong players who are contributing ideas and theyre brimming with the order to start ive just given them free rein and lots of space and also. You know. The name c. L. Is derived from the swedish word for sol this is the ensembles 1st trip to south africa. And i do think its. The women from leipsic visit Constitution Hill one of the countrys most important historical sites once a fort it was later used as a prison. Today its the seat of south africas constitutional court. The day after they 1st meet the groups give their 1st concert at a music school in sweater. Each Group Introduces itself by singing a piece from its own repertoire its. d great to. Get. That. Right afterwards they performed their 1st joint arrangement him from the middle ages jazzed up with african beats. C c the who. Can you believe that we just did that. The 1st time. I. See. And i have truly arrived there finding the african audiences enthusiasm infectious unsellable singing has a long tradition here and is part of everyday life. The next day of rehearsals belongs to seppo to see hes been commissioned by george avila to compose a work that will be rehearsed here for the very 1st time. Its untitled birth of change. The aircraft. Carrier. For. The vocalists will later be supported by a full Symphony Orchestra oh whoa. Word. Here theyre getting acquainted with a new work which was created on a computer and has never been performed before. You can see the i. Think. At some point things just click into place the jazz musician and composer to poke and the vocalists bring the piece to life was. The. I. Was. I was so there really was with it still i suppose for me to just think something will be so much action. It just needs to be this michael is going to have. That right to ask the and my 1st impression was that it reminded me of many things film music pop music but it also had very rhythmic elements which were. A little jazzy to jazz these and i think its amazing the rhythms that will go on you know the 2 different sections that with the i think were going to have a good turn into sand this is really interesting that these 2 or 3 voices are going to fuse together with the orchestra. And they are not something new for us to sing with a full orchestra. Gunson are quaestors ing the piece to pose pieces are usually very exciting and rhythmic so im enjoying the glover does this music and the opportunity to sing together have really bonded us. So eamon says im sure it doesnt feel like weve only known on another for 3 day aside hackers and the stimulus received it. In. Instinctively the media which which is what i hoped we would do circle were going to have a good turn i think its going to look really. Nothing true intellectual about it the military is easy and these seem pitifully so i think you can embody this piece produced. That afternoon c. L. O. Pay a visit to the parted museum is south africas most Popular Museum and helps visitors understand the effect of the countrys past racial segregation. This car was presented to Nelson Mandela as a gift after his release from prison. The activist who went on to become south africas 1st black president is still ever present here as is his fight against the Apartheid Regime with all of its horrors. One of the most impressive exhibits is the replica of the tiny jail cell where mandela was held in isolation for years. Music was also part of the resistance against departed singing together gave protesters a voice i havent asked for just you know it just. Put it to show i get the feeling that people here express their political opinions through music. And have it as it is 5 and that people here process a lot of their fear. And negative emotions light and mass suffering and pain through music zeke. To me its simply giving voice to what theyre feeling at that moment taught them and yet making something positive out of their pain. This weekend i think thats really one of africas strengths from africa. I had already suspected that singing has a completely different meaning here than it does for us in germany and that it brought people together during the apartheid era and gave them strength and was maybe even used to make political statements political statements of people in the spring had music everything and by man. Right now im very angry hesitant because ive just seen or been shown how so many personal fates were affected by a party not my idea yeah apartheid could take how many is in the studio but im also thinking about germany. And how there are still racists all over the world and a justice who gives. Meaning. So. Theyre all in cool aiko means freedom to the women from leipsic are getting a lesson in soon one of south africas official languages. There was. The. C. L. O. And just 6 make good use of the break before their next for herself. She should. Stand by. And take the stand. And i can. Head standing again yet here. And that in the in. The end it was. Wrong.

A and just 6 have a lot to talk about music their everyday lives and snippets of taxis composition. You know what happened in that all is described by music as new school stiff looking new School New Haven for something different. Look with the same instruments with the same kinds of musicians but its just the perspective that that is changed i mean im a very young guy im 28 years old now and believe that if anything since i have the kids of composing i should be reflecting on the times of today and its our duty as composers to to really put say a covenant and feel of what we experience as young people.
