Namibia: Ongoro and Friends Rekindle Musical Vibe of the Katutura Community Hall

30 November 2012

Windhoek — The Katutura Community Hall, the Mecca of music in years gone by, especially for the musical masses from Katutura who in the Apartheid era any venue in the centre of the City was a no-go zone, is slowly but surely regaining it's former glory.

At least this was the impression one could gain on Saturday with a close to full house of revelers who came out to not only show their appreciation for their favourite genre, Oviritje, but to enjoy themselves as well. And it was not difficult to see why the hall attracted close to a full house. Billed for the night's attraction, among others, were none other than this year's Oviritje champion in the Namibia Annual Music Awards (Namas), Ongoro Nomundu, that hosted the event. This is one of their last appearance for the year before jetting off mid December for shows in London in the United Kingdom, Toronto in Canada and New York in the United States of America (USA) that will see them celebrating Xmas and New Year abroad.
