The 21 Founding Members
These are the voices you fell in love with.
Named, together, for the first time under The Real Thanda Choir.
We are twenty-one young people, most of us from Khayelitsha, and every one of us has been part of this choir since its earliest days. Our headshots and bios are being added as we capture them — taken at our own rehearsals, shared in our own words.
