South African Choirs: J.H. Palmer and His Singing Boys


Figure 1.--We notice an advertisement for J.H. Palmer and His Singing Boys during the 1910s or 20s. From the way the boys are dressed it surely must be a roup of South African boys. We do not know, however,m where they performed or what music was in their repetoire. One would think it woukd be African music. It looks like a small commercial choir. It was amall group of only five boys, al least five boys are shown in the one available image. One source suggests thst they were Zulu boys.
