Overview

Part of the 2009-2010 MBT Season

The two-time Grammy Award-winning Soweto Gospel Choir is heralded as one of the most exciting groups to emerge in world music in recent years. Through vibrant rhythm, movement and its renowned vocal tapestry, the choir performs a repertoire that reflects the past, present and future of South Africa and blends elements of African gospel, Negro spirituals, reggae, and American pop music.

In its short but spectacular career, the 26-strong Soweto Gospel Choir has sung alongside superstars including Bono, Queen, Annie Lennox, Dionne Warwick, Jimmy Cliff and Celine Dion and has shared top billing in Paris with South African legend Johnny Clegg.

“Occasionally, a diamond of such brilliance is unearthed that you find yourself compelled to develop a near-fanatical enthusiasm for it.”
– Manchester News, United Kingdom

“You have never seen or heard such infectious joy — guaranteed.”
– Brian May of Queen

“(The choir) has a cornucopia of remarkable voices: sharp, sweet, kindly, raspy and incantatory leads above a magnificently velvety blend... the music was both meticulous and unstoppable ...the songs were both spirited and spectacular”
– The New York Times
