A country that sings together, stays together, believes a south Mumbai group of inter-faith carollers. The 21-strong choir, drawn primarily from Colaba, spreads Christmas cheer along with communal harmony. They have Hindus and Parsis too as part of the ‘Interfaith Colaba Carollers Choir’. They will be giving a performance as part of a Christmas Gala tomorrow evening, at Somani Park, Cuffe Parade.

An inspiration

Joannette Remedios said of the inter-faith carollers, “This, I think is inspirational as it proves on ground initiatives undertaken by ordinary people can set an example in unity, and inter-faith understanding. We do not need grandiose speeches and promises to combat the seeds of division, sowed sporadically. These events show we are one at heart. The power of music binds us. We, as a group, look for commitment and dedication to attend daily practice, despite heavy work schedules. Yeh dosti hum nahi todenge (we will not break this friendship).”
