This chorister led and organized event aims to raise a whopping $10,000 for our African Projects Fund, supporting our twin choirs in South Africa and Namibia. With 24 continuous hours of free live vocal music, fuelled by the great coffee at Bogani, choristers and local performers work hard to keep our twin choirs running.

Pronunciation Guide
While we enjoy the unique names we've chosen for our ensembles, they can present a bit of a challenge for Koko-newbies! Here are a few tips:
Kokopelli (a mythological figure from several western North American indigenous cultures) - pronounced koh-koh-PELL-ee
Òran (Gaelic for the word "song") - pronounced oh-RON
Shumayela (African word in the Xhosa language, meaning "to share") - pronounced shoo-mah-YEH-lah
Kikimasu (Japanese word meaning "hear it') - pronounced kee-kee-MAHS (the "u" is silent or almost unpronounced)
Our artistic director's last name is Leithead, pronounced LEETH-head (first syllable rhymes with "teeth"!)
