Description
Photograph of an African orchestra conducted by the Canadian Province of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate. Photo shows one of their Fathers with the orchestra he has organized in the local seminary. To judge from the variety of instruments and the known talent of the people, good music is to be had whenever the occasion calls for it.
