Hailing from the town of Soweto, the birthplace of South Africa's democratic movement's struggle for freedom, Soweto Gospel Choir aims to inspire audiences around the world. The choir draws on the best talent from the many churches in and around Soweto who are dedicated to sharing the joy of faith through music.
The Soweto Gospel Choir is not only exquisite with their artistry, but they also are ambassadors for Nelson Mandela's 46664 campaign, SHOUT, 1Goal, United Nation's MDG Envoys for Africa and Interpol's "Proud To Be" campaign.
Soweto Gospel Choir is known to be "nothing less than an international treasure" (Jazztimes), and with their powerful blend of freedom songs, African gospel, U.S. civil rights songs, and international classics, you will not want to miss this talented group.
