take slowly your way with the wonderful people and still make the game so special. for all true fans. because more than football on line. that. good. will. that. i. that are similar are wonderful they're just out of this world it's like we've known

each of the forever and it's amazing how both those different worlds of coming together and working as one just 6 just 6 have an incredibly velvety very refined sound to have time. and. the sun and. johannesburg south africa's largest city the metropolis is full of contrasts. it's 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. today johannesburg is playing host to a special encounter. to. acapella and some mills from 2 different continents have

come together sierra 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. each group brings its own musical tradition with it as well as curiosity about the others the singers from c.l.a have a broad musical education just 6 learn by ear without sheet music they rely on their musicality and intuition will c.l.'s classical repertoire fit with the african beats of just 6 that's all beautiful because then it's just like how comes on top of what they're doing you know with the rhythm.

and you joined us make this very basic. you don't proofread. but. that is what. the workshop is being led by markos ditter vic from germany an expert on south african vocal music he's here to help bring the groups together we know as a consumer student couples who are trying to go 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 they're brimming with the order to start i've just given them free reign and lots of space and also. you know. the name c.l. is derived from the swedish word for soul this is the ensembles 1st trip to south

africa. and i do think. the women from leipsic visit constitution hill one of the country's most important historical sites once a fort it was later used as a prison. today it's the seat of south africa's constitutional court. the day after they 1st meet the group's give their 1st concert at a music school in sweater. each group introduces itself by singing a piece from its own repertoire busy.

right afterwards they performed their 1st joint arrangement him from the middle ages jazzed up with african beats. 6 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 see he's been commissioned by george avila to compose a work that will be rehearsed here for the very 1st time. it's untitled the birth of change. the aircraft. carrier. there. the vocalists will later be supported by a full symphony orchestra oh whoa. we're.

here they're getting acquainted with the new work which was created on a computer and has never been performed before. you can see the i. want to feel. at some point things just click into place the jazz musician and composer tiptoe and the vocalists bring the piece to life was. there. was. i was there really isn't it still i suppose for me to just think since there would be so much attention. it just in history was.

going to have 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. a little jazzy to jazz and i think it's amazing the rhythms that will go on you know the 2 different sections that with the i think we're going to have a good tech says into the sand 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 or ones to reclassify gunson or quaestors ing. to pose pieces are usually very exciting and with music so i'm enjoying the glover does this music and the opportunity to sing together have really bonded us. it doesn't feel like we've only known on another for 3 day i said haggis and the stingers received it.

instinctively they made it their own which which is what i hoped they would do circle we're going to have a good term i think it's going to look really. nothing true intellectual about it the military is easy and the scene beautifully so i think you can embody this piece produced. that afternoon c.l.o. pay a visit to the parted museum is south africa's most popular museum and helps visitors understand the effect of the country's 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 africa's 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 to have a disco for just you know it to. 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 they could have emotions light and mass suffering and pain through music zakk. it's simply giving voice to what they're feeling at that moment about what's there and yet making something positive out of their pain . this weekend i think that's really one of africa's strengths for africa. and 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 at kake and was maybe even used to make political statements political statements to keep the spring tide in music everything and by man. right now i'm very angry hesitant because i've just seen or been shown how so many personal fates were affected by a party it was my idea yeah that was the apartheid inside hammond in the studio but i'm also thinking about germany. and how there are still racists all over the world and a justice who gives in. so it. means freedom to the women from leipsic are getting a lesson in soon one of south africa's official languages. there was. that the. was.

c.l.a and just 6 make good use of the break before their next for herself. shut in. by. one like me. and if i can. hit a shanty it was good to get here. and that in the end it was. wrong. because. it. was. i. know it's winter in south africa it feels like summer.

this simmers have come to this university campus outside johannesburg to rehearse the new composition together with the orchestra. germany's national youth orchestra is taking advantage of its summer tour through south africa to rehearse birth of change with support so to see for the 1st time. you. all. want to move. to. the composer once his music to entertain people 1st and foremost but with this piece he also hopes to

create a tribute to society's unsung heroes the cleaning ladies the janitors and the bakers . birth of changes to have its world premiere at the beethoven fest in september in the german city of bonn 6. the vocalists are struggling to make themselves heard over the powerful sound of the orchestra. after the rehearsal they're invited to a broadway the south african name for barbecue. it's a cult. an area tradition that brings people and cultures together. for you. c.l.

and just 6 have a lot to talk about music their everyday lives and snippets of composition. and what happened in that so of all is described by music as new school stiff looking new school is. striving for something different. look with the same instruments with the same kinds of musicians but it's just the perspective that that is changed i mean i'm a very young guy i'm 28 years old now and in that believe that if anything since i have the kids of composing i should be reflecting on the times of today and it's our duty as composed as i had to to to really put a covenant and feel of what we experience as people. almost a week of intensive or her skills is capped off with a concert at the university of pretoria.

and i felt a human teeth their voice is a so deep and velvety but they can sing high tunes they're very colorful and have an incredible versatility and it gets back to they're able to sing classical material but also jazz and soul jessica she saw. how that comes together really nice and they can all the very flexible they can do some jazz and all those things so it really mixes very well with what we do and you know it's been quite a fun process. there were so many great moments when we tried out new things we worked on material we didn't cover in south africa.

oh murder. i. didn't. hold truth. i. wasn't findus is just not i think they complement each other extremely well there's this powerful african rhythms and these powerful african voices system and when we have this crystal clear highly precise sound of c.l.o. horn taking this mix is a really fascinating window because it brings together different worlds united in sound and even proceed leviton for playing with you finances.
