Innodo - Course of Events [XII]: South African Heritage Day

In its simplest term “Heritage Day” means a day where we remember the practices handed down from the past by tradition. In South Africa this is a day where we wear traditionally and gather with family, friends and lovers and so on. What do those who are South Africans abroad do? I do not know, perhaps they do the same but I personally listen to Traditional Music as always. Nevertheless we are all in different places around the globe for different reasons. Today is the day I compiled music from home. On the playlist I have;

African Renaissance Volume 1:Zulu

African Renaissance Volume 2:Venda

African Renaissance Volume 3:South Sotho & Tswana

African Renaissance Volume 4:Xhosa & Swazi

African Renaissance Volume 5:Ndebele & North Sotho

African Renaissance Volume 6:Tsonga & Maskandi

African Renaissance Volume 7:Mbube

African Renaissance Volume 8:Traditional Dances, Wedding & Courtship Songs

African Renaissance Volume 9:Nguni Choral & Mbhaqanga

African Renaissance Volume 10:Ngoma & Indigenous Instruments

So you can imagine that the songs are going to be playing the whole day. With that in mind I would love to wish everyone in South Africa a Happy Heritage Day!
