Conductor: Pierre-Roger DIEL MOUITY

Founded in 1990, the vocal group “Le Chant sur la Lowé” is a mixed amateur choir counting about thirty members. Its vocation is to promote high quality vocal practice beyond the traditional ecclesiastical setting, hence reaching the secular circles in Gabon and beyond its borders. Furthermore, its aim is to popularize the Gabonese musical heritage through the interpretation of a diverse array of Gabonese folksongs in all the languages of the country. Its uniqueness also translates into its folkloric costumes and its signature choreographies which represent the rich Gabonese cultural heritage. Le Chant sur la Lowé regularly gives public concerts and various private performances.
