Kwaya 2012-13

Youth choir project funded through Youth Music's Musical Inclusion Project, 2012-13

Kwaya was a weekly programme targeting young women aged 11-18. Sessions provided space to work on vocal technique and learn how to apply it to a diverse range of acapella vocal music. The sessions included using voice as percussion and for beatboxing, circle jamming and improvising.
