Description
In the short time since their first CD release, Soweto Gospel Choir has become one of the most celebrated world music groups performing today. Their releases have hit the Top Ten of the Billboard World Music Charts and their coast-to-coast tours have electrified audiences across the USA as well as around the world.
AFRICAN SPIRIT, the choir's third CD, is their most accessible project yet with an irresistible mix of their versions of internationally-known inspirational songs and distinctive South African gospel, including some of the songs that have received the greatest response from their audiences. lWorld renowned superstar Bono of U2 is a special guest vocalist on the choir's scintillating version of Bob Marley's “One Love”. Other highlights of the album are the choir's powerful versions of such hits as “Many Rivers To Cross”, Bob Dylan's “Forever Young”, Jimmy Cliff's “Sitting In Limbo” and Nina Simone's “Balm Of Gilead”.
Also available: VOICES FROM HEAVEN (SHANCD66036), BLESSED (SHANCD66038).
