Soweto Gospel Choir
is an awe-inspiring vocal ensemble, performing in eight
different languages, in an inspirational program of tribal,
traditional and popular African gospel. Returning to The
Hummingbird Centre for the Performing Arts after a standing room
only performance in 2005, Soweto Gospel Choir will
perform two shows only, from February 27 – 28, 2007.
Soweto Gospel Choir has achieved major success in
Europe and in South Africa. Drawing on the best musical talents
from the many churches and communities in and around Soweto, the
concert will feature a dynamic four-piece band, traditional
dancers and drummers. Earthy rhythms, rich harmonies, acapella
and charismatic performances combine to uplift the soul and
express, through a vocal celebration, South Africa's great hopes
for the future. The most exciting vocal group to emerge from
South Africa since Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Soweto Gospel
Choir, will bring their magnetic energy, joyful spirits and
beautiful harmonies to Canadian audiences. They are much more
than simply a musical phenomenon.
Soweto Gospel Choir was created in 2002. David
Mulovhedzi and South African Executive Producer Beverly Bryer
held auditions in Soweto to form an all-star “super-choir.”
They were able to create a powerful aggregation made up of the
best singers from his own Holy Jerusalem Choir, as well as
various Soweto churches and from the general public, including a
finalist on the nationally-televised South African equivalent of
“Star Search.” Adorned in traditional and beautifully coloured
South African garb, the choir has been known to win audiences
with their exotic blend of South African spirituals, traditional
Zulu, Xhosa and Sotho gospel songs which are interspersed with
popular songs and folk anthems.
"Nothing can really prepare you for the riot of exuberance and
depth of emotion." -
