Welcome to our 30 days of photos! I think it is appropriate to start with a video of the Easter Service at our church, where a group of the ladies sang and danced to the song “Levanta-se Africa”. The chorus means “Rise up Africa, and praise the Lord”
Unfortunately it is too big to upload here, so I’ve uploaded it on youtube and you can follow the link to it here:
For those who don’t want to follow a link, here is a photo of that same service, of another group of ladies singing. You’ll notice that they are all wearing the same fabric wrap, called a capulana here, which is about 4 1/2 feet of fabric wrapped around the waist. They wear another skirt underneath, since these things can become loose easily and fall off! For special services and days, the ladies all buy the same capulana and wear it to show solidarity. -C
