The day of the African conquest. The Sai African Adult Choir (SAAC), first conceived in 2008, presented their first programme in Prasanthi Nilayam in July 2009. After the grand success of the programme with Bhagawan requesting for an encore at the end of the presentation, the group returned with a lot more confidence to perform on the occasion of His Birthday celebrations.
The group is represented by Nigeria while the songs are drawn from Nigeria, Congo, Tanzania and South Africa. Bhagawan arrived for Darshan at 1905hrs amidst Bhajans. Bhagawan came on to stage after completing the Darshan rounds at 1925hrs and after about 20 minutes of Bhajans, blessed the participants to commence the Programme. The choir started with an english song composed by Jude Nnam entitled "Happy Birthday Baba" followed by songs drawn from various African countries. The Programme concluded with an english prayer to Bhagawan entitled "Sai Baba - Great Navigator".
At the end of the presentation Bhagawan descended the stage and after interacting with the musicians for a long time, distributed clothes and table clocks to all the participants. As an act of History repeating itself, Bhagawan demanded an encore this time too and the Choir obliged with a South African Song, "Njalo". Bhagawan accepted Arati at 2100hrs.
