Our Service

Bongani Magatyana is a highly skilled professional singer, music director, composer, and theatrical producer based in South Africa. He offers a range of music services that cater to individuals and groups of all ages and backgrounds. Here are some of the services he provides:

Music Camps

Our music camps provide an immersive experience for participants to learn and perform traditional South African choral music. We bringing in guest tutors like Jacob Whatwhat (iskatimiya) and Desmond Tutu (clapping), who work alongside Bongani to provide an in-depth experience of different South African traditions. We spend the first week at the Volmoed Retreat Center rehearsing 6 hours a day and sharing meals together. During the second week we will perform with other choirs in churches, schools, and prisons. There is also time during the second week to visit tourist sites around Cape Town. The opportunity to sing these songs with South African choirs is invaluable for anybody who wants to deepen their understanding of this music. These camps cater to choirs, choir directors, and vocal enthusiasts seeking to expand their musical abilities and appreciation for South Africa’s rich choral traditions.
