SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA (21 May) – Blending contemporary gospel with traditional African choral styles, the Di Bruin Gospel Project captivates audiences with their signature clap-and-tap rhythms, reminiscent of South Africa’s Apostolic churches from the 1960s.
For the very first time in Australia, the award winning ensemble will share the rich stories of South Africa and celebrate the legacy of Nelson Mandela with a powerful and uplifting message through music.
Founded by the dynamic Mr. Brown Mosiapoa affectionately known as ‘Di Bruin Di Bruin’, this award-winning radio personality, director and composer created the choir during the pandemic to unite communities through the universal language of music, spreading messages of hope and healing in uncertain times.
After appearing at the Australia and New Zealand South African Film Festival 2025 in Brisbane and a brief stopover in Sydney to perform exclusively at NSW Parliament, the choir is now taking their heavenly sounds to Melbourne!
“This has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I have the ancient teachings of our ancestors on display for all to see…all centred around the village framework and the ubuntu/botho framework,” said tour organiser Sharon Orapeleng.
“When we invest in people, we invest in our dreams, hopes for the future … we do God’s work and bring alignment to our existence.”
A portion of proceeds from the tour will go towards charitable causes that will benefit children in South Africa, and provide art and music therapy for young people from refugee backgrounds in Australia.
Africa Day is celebrated annually on 25 May worldwide to commemorate the organisation of African Unity.
