There is possibly no sound on earth more stirring, more uplifting than the voices of the storied Soweto Gospel Choir raised in song.
In this special holiday season concert, the multi-Grammy-winning South African cultural ambassadors return to Berkeley singing of love and peace, from gospel classics and spirituals to feel-good pop songs by Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Leonard Cohen, and others, all delivered with their superhuman vocal blend and dazzling showmanship.
"Listening to the glorious harmonies and watching the inspired faces of the performers...even the coldest hearts would struggle to resist" (Limelight Magazine).
Worldwide ambassadors of South African culture, the Soweto Gospel Choir routinely brings audiences to their feet--clapping, stomping, singing, and being transported by the choir's exuberant performances. Clad in their famously vibrant robes, and swaying with deft ensemble choreography, the two-time Grammy winners perform renditions of Zulu, Xhosa, and Sotho folk and gospel music, American spirituals, and African pop, in a dozen different languages. "Absolutely thrilling singers...dazzling music" (Billboard).
