Soweto Gospel Choir

Performing in Dallas for the first time, South Africa's Soweto Gospel Choir brings earthy rhythms, rich harmonies and a capella works, as well as accompaniment by an exciting four-piece band and percussion section. Added to the mix are energetic dancing and vibrant, colorful costumes reflective of the rich South African Culture. This young dynamic choir performs both traditional and contemporary music, adding its own unique feel and interpretation to both. The choir performs in six of South Africa's 11 official languages. The magnificent 52-member choir, styled with a contemporary feel, leaves all who hear it stunned with emotion. It is no small wonder that they are charting a meteoric rise to international fame. Those that saw the "46664 Concert" in Cape Town 2003, under the auspices of former President Nelson Mandela, witnessed Soweto Gospel Choir in action alongside other musical greats like Bono, Queen, Anastacia, Peter Gabriel, Jimmy Cliff and the Eurythmics.
