From the group's web site:
"The Soweto Gospel Choir was formed to celebrate the unique and inspirational power of African Gospel music. The 26-strong choir, under the direction of David Mulovhedzi and Beverly Bryer, draws on the best talent from the many churches in and around Soweto. The choir is dedicated to sharing the joy of faith through music with audiences around the world."

Our version: People, this is an amazing album! The full-bodied, soulful voices literally SOAR, inspired by their passion and backed by choirs fired by their faith. Traditional African percussion instruments accompany some tracks. This music has to be heard to be believed, so what are you waiting for? Listen to the sound files below and get fired up!
