The Choir marching into the church (Angola)

TalithaK | August 26, 2007
The choir in Namibe always marches into the church in the morning before they take their places in their benches up front every Sunday. I am the white chick...lol

As per this exchange between the video uploader and a viewer of this video, this choir is from Angola:

praisehymn247 - Oh my goodness, that was awsome! Hello to my brothers and sisters in Christ from across the way! The harmony is great, I have no idea what you're saying but I know that God is universal and He is great all the time in every situation. I love the marching. Keep on praising Him and God bless you and your congregation.

God surely is universal...

I am no longer in Angola unfortunately, but I am sure that they are still marching!

Here's more information from the video's uploader:

TalithaK -I should really post more of my videos of them...

We would march into the church from outside actually.

The lyrics are,

"A-O-A, A-O-A, Cu ma ma. A-O-A, A-O-A Cu ma ma (repeat)Jesus Cristo e um criador, Jesus Cristo e um salvador (repeat)"

It's actually not a hymn it is just a "march" and the second part means "Jesus Christ is the creator, Jesus Christ is a saviour."

In 2009 I started a discussion about Black Church Services on an international online dicussion forum called Mudcat:

This was one of the videos that I referred people to as an example of African church processions.

Although I no longer post to that forum, if you're interested in posting to that thread, new comments can be added to that discussion by guests or members.
