A Grammy winner in 2007, the Soweto Gospel Choir is one group that can truly be said to take an audience by storm wherever it goes. The most exciting vocal ensemble to emerge from South Africa since the days of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, its 25 members, augmented by live musicians and dancers, perform a program of tribal, traditional and popular African gospel – plus modern Western spiritual and international pop. And they do it in no less than eight different languages, including Zulu, Sotho, and Xhosa, as well as English. So be prepared to hear anything from Amazing Grace and The Lion Sleeps Tonight to Otis Redding and the reggae of Jimmy Cliff - and pick up their latest CD Grace, one of this year’s Grammy nominees!
