The Jam Jar presents: Thanda Choir

Thanda Choir, a youth choir from Khayelitsha in Cape Town, performs at The Jam Jar in Bristol, with a support act on the bill. The evening is a live concert.

Thanda Choir was founded in 2023 in Khayelitsha, a township in Cape Town, South Africa. The project gives young people there a place to express themselves and learn, and to develop artistic and leadership skills along with possible routes into careers in the arts.

The choir aims to strengthen community pride, help to break cycles of poverty and give the young people of Khayelitsha a voice through hopeful performances. Its music combines traditional South African sounds with contemporary influences, and it is meant to inspire audiences around the world.

The Bristol concert takes place at The Jam Jar, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in the city. It will appeal to listeners interested in choral music rooted in South African traditions and in community-led youth projects.
