IYF officials said the choir performed eight songs, including traditional Ugandan folk songs. The choir also sang Uganda’s national anthem in the local language to an ovation from 100,000 spectators in attendance, the officials added.
Jacob L. Oulanyah, deputy chairman of the National Assembly, several government officials and over 1,000 local pastors were among the 100,000 who packed the stadium, the officials said.
The choir, founded in 2000, aims to deliver messages of hope and peace worldwide through music. (khnews@heraldcorp.com)
