A joyous exclamation which is set at a wedding, where the groom is being asked: "Where are you hiding the bride". Traditional Sesotho South African traditional music is known for their movement and dancing in their songs, and the UP Youth choir accentuates this by highlighting the movement in their performance.  

[this is an updated version of a post which first appeared on my blog From the Front of the choir]   As a singing workshop and choir leader I have an incredibly easy life. I can get up when I want to and have no work commitments for five days ...

The choir is famous for its amazingly rich collection of fourty-two prizes and awards of different international choir competitions. The years of 2006 and 2008 were particularly successful for the group, as the 4th choir Olympics in China and the 5th choir Olympics in Austria brought twice the Olympic Championship of All-Male choirs to Pécs. In 2014, the Pécs men fascinated the jury and audience again – resulting an absolute first prize in the Beijing International Competition for choirs. As a result of the high artistic reputation, the chorus has been invited to make tours in Europe as well as in the US, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and China. The double CD of Choral Works for male voices by Zoltán Kodály was issued in 2010, as a world-premiere. The following year focused on bicentenary of the significant composer of the 19th century, Erkel Ferenc, resulting a further CD, with the male ch...    less

Det binder hon om sin kärastes arm. Men kära min lilla jungfru, knyt inte så hårdt. Jag ämnar ej att rymma bort. Och jungfru hon går och lossar på rödan gullband. Så hastigt den skälmen åt skogen då sprang. Då sköto de efter honom med femton gevär Och vill ni mig något, så ha ni mig här. 少女拿著紅色金絲帶繞圈跳舞 她將絲帶綁在愛人的手臂上 我親愛的小姑娘，別綁得這麼緊哪 我沒打算逃跑呀 少女一鬆開紅色金絲帶 少年郎立刻衝向樹林裡 這時大夥兒拿起十五把獵槍朝他發射 你們想怎麼樣都行，我就在這兒  less
