The curtains came down today on the National Song Festival, sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport at the National Cultural Center, which saw the participation of choirs from Regions 4, 5, 6, and 10.
The main objective of this initiative, which was launched in November 2011, is the resuscitation of choral singing. It catered for all the different music formats including choral singing, drumming and verses.
Each group/choir performed a song of their choice along with a compulsory national song and was judged by a panel of esteemed individuals, known for their sterling contribution to local music.
