CLAP and TAP festival in Tlhabane

Tlhabane/ Rustenburg – Ikage Arts Foundation in partnership with the Department of Arts, Culture, Sports and Recreation, recently hosted the annual Clap and Tap Indigenous Music Festival at Tlhabane Community Hall. 

Clap and tap have a long history in the South African acapella music genre, and its popularity has soared over the years. The faith-based non-instrumental genre combines vocals and rhythmic clapping of hands to create melodies. 

Mighty Choristers Gospel Choir from Botswana, Motheo Wa Emmanuel Gospel Choir from Rustenburg, Dinaledi Tsa Tumelo Choir from Moruleng and Redemption Spiritual Choir from Krugersdorp lit up the occasion with their performances. 

North West Department of Arts, Culture, Sports and Recreation MEC Galebekwe Tlhapi was among those who enjoyed the show. “Clap and tap play a significant role in promoting indigenous languages, culture and traditional gospel.”
