Led by Una May Olomolaiye, the first Musical Director of Leicester Amika Choir, this was a very popular workshop with gospel, Tamla Motown, traditional African songs and more.

There have been a lot of changes going on at Amika these past several months. As you can see, we have a new website, but we also have a new rehearsal venue. After months of rehearsing on Zoom because of COVID and other things outside the choir's control, the place that we now call home is the Woodgate Resources Centre in Frog Island, Leicester. So don't be shy, drop in and sing with us! |
