Music to My Soul - Hola Hamonate: SABC2 Tuesday 18th September @ 11am

In the first episode of this new season of Hola Hamonate, we look at the value of music in the lives of the elderly.

We visit Naledi Elderly Choir and find out how being part of this music group helps boost one’s confidence and social skills.  Music therapist Erna Kruger tells us about the benefits of music for the elderly which may even reduce levels of depression in Alzheimer patients.

 The episode also features the Dark City Sisters who released major hits in the 1950s and 60s and are slowly getting their groove back.

 Hola Hamonate is presented by the elderly for the elderly; it is a space where the elderly can share their challenges, triumphs and wisdom. The show is a platform for conversation where the elderly can unpack current issues at their own pace and in their own style. Anthony Wilson and Clementine Mosimane are presenters of this season of Hola Hamonate.
