Most people tend to believe that a choir is all about getting a group of choristers together and starts singing praises to the good Lord, and the truth of the matter is there is more to it. Some things are beyond our control, they are all about callings and spiritual healings, and like they always say: MANY ARE CALLED, AND VERY FEW ARE CHOSEN.
It all started as a vision after the founder of Galaletsang Morena, Boitumelo G. Moncho, got involved in an accident. Whilst he was hospitalised on the 31st of January 2007, he got into a vision at around 15H00 pm. "An old woman appeared before me and showed me a woman with two kids standing on my right hand side and there was also a group", B.G Moncho said. "The old woman told me to lead the group and pray for the woman", he continued...
"I then asked her how will I do that when the doctors said I won't be able to walk again. And instead of answering me, she quoted a Sotho hymn in a firm voice: LONA BA RATANG HO PHELA MOHLAPENG WA JESU, HOPOLANG TSIETSI EA TSELA", he added.
Shortly after that on April whilst recovering, he and a trusted friend wrote letters that were later sent to different churches to form the group, but the journey was not easy at all. And finally on the 8th of September 2007 Galaletsang Morena Gospel Choir was formed. Years went by with Galaletsang Morena GC facing a lot of hardships but by the grace of God, they got through it all and recorded their first and only CD titled 'JESU YO BONOLO'. And according to the founder, they did not get the support they needed and deserved from the community.
Since Galaletsang Morena is a registered Non-profit organisation and is mostly focused on religious matters, it raises funds by performing and entertaining the audience through praise and worship. And its main aim is to pray for the sick, take care of the elderly, help the less privileged kids who are eager for education by taking them/ assisting them with returning back to school and to also bring light to saddened homes by providing spiritual healing through prayers. And all these beautiful deeds are done by Galaletsang Morena GC which consists of both the youth and adults.
The founder realized that if in this day and time we do not tap into the creative side of a young person's brain in every possible way, then we will not have the innovation, the economic and cultural growth experience that this country must have. Hence the choir consists of not only choristers but also composers who pen down their musical notations on a piece of paper, to the dancers who interpret the music of clap and tap through movement and dance.
Galaletsang Morena is keeping most youngsters off the streets and through creative arts these youngsters get to recognize their own creative potential, their ability to focus, their open minded approach toward problem solving and their achievement of new levels of human growth and development.
So by supporting Galaletsang Morena GC, you will be supporting future artists and composers.
