S6 Ep1| PIDGIN POWER part 1: uniting audiences through opera
In this two-part episode, we speak to two inspiring women who are central to this opera - Helen Epega, also known as the Venus Bushfires, who composed and wrote Song Queen: A Pidgin Opera and is the lead vocalist in the performance.
And Louisa Adjoa Martin who has over 20 years’ experience as an opera singer performing with symphony choruses and is a soprano voice in this opera.
‘Song Queen: A Pidgin Opera’ celebrates the power of song, honours African cultures, and is a uniting force that champions languages, dialects and slangs that are considered by some to not be the standard.
