  • Description

    The Soweto Gospel Choir is an all-star aggregation, in the vein of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, of top singers from South Africa's famous township -- Soweto. They've achieved breakthrough success in Europe, including two sold-out shows at London's Royal Festival Hall, their exhilarating voices thrilling audiences wherever they perform. VOICES FROM HEAVEN is their debut recording. It includes an irresistible mix of traditional South African songs, South African and American gospel repertoire such as "Amazing Grace" and stirring versions of well-known inspirational material such as “Many Rivers To Cross”, sung in English as well as Zulu. Some tracks are breathtaking a cappella while others are upbeat tracks with instrumental backing.
