TAIWANESE nationals living within the kingdom of Eswatini, together with Emaswati celebrated their over 50 years of relation through performances rendered by a Tai-wanese group ‘Semiscon Vocal Band’, on Sunday evening at the Royal Swazi hotel.
The Taiwanese Semiscon Vocal Band left the crowd in awe as they sang in acappella, both in their indigenous language and in English.
Diversity
The group showed off acrobatic displays of two circus arts performers who expressed the cultural diversity of Taiwan.
Those who attended the event and shared a light moment with the Taiwanese, were a number of Emaswati, Cabinet Senators including the Senate President Lindiwe Dlamini.
Relationship
In an interview with the Entertainment Desk, she stated that she cherished the relationship that Eswatini has with Taiwan as they have played a great role in helping the kingdom progress.
“It is lovely to see the love and unity the kingdom has with the Republic of Taiwan.
“The relationship has gone for over a century. To attend such a show which gives us a feel of who they really are and how their culture is, is a great thing and one would wish that it goes on for the next coming 50 years,” she said.
Organiser of the event, Chairman of the Chinese Association Khathy Liu stated that they were happy with how the event turned out as the group delivered and gave Emaswati a feel of Taiwanese music and dances.
“The event went better than I had expected. Such an event is important for both Taiwan and Eswatini as normally we only focus on the political aspect of things and I think this is a cultural exchange.
Important
“It also brings music and happiness to everyone around us, not only the locals but also to every foreigner around the kingdom, “she said
EU Ambassador to Eswatini Esmeralda Hernandez said it was important that the Kingdom of Eswatini hosts such events that will help in enriching the society.
“I found the event very interesting as one was able to learn more on music from Taiwan. The talent that the group has is out of this world,” she said.
