Description
This multitalented group has exploded onto the world music scene, wowing audiences with its virtuosity and passion. Drawn primarily from the churches and communities of South Africa?s most famous township, the choir mixes earthy rhythms, rich harmonies, drumming, dancing, and irrepressible charisma for an experience that lifts the soul and stuns the senses. Filmed live in concert on their 2005 Australian tour, they sing a blend of traditional gospel and contemporary standards in English as well as some of the 10 other official languages of South Africa. Constantly in motion and dressed in vibrantly colored robes and textiles, with one superb soloist after another taking the lead, they offer up such highlights as "Asimbonanga," Jonny Clegg?s tribute to Nelson Mandela; Peter Gabriel?s "Biko"; "Mbube," the South African song that became "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"; the traditional ballad "I Bid You Goodnight"; Bob Marley?s classic "One Love"; and Nkosi Sikelel?iAfrika, the South African National Anthem.

 Soweto Gospel Choir March 16, 2008
I loved the Soweto Gospel Choir when I saw them on TV and decided to order the CD. As a professor in a community college, I start my 3-hour classes with music, play music during breaks, and occassionally during various activities. I try to end the class with music, too. The student population is quite diverse; infact the students hail from approximately 30 countries of origin. Last week, to the students' complete enjoyment, I used this CD. Many of the students inquired where they could get it and wanted to see more than time permitted. (It is much more interesting than my lectures, I'm sure!) They, like me, enjoyed the vibrancy and beauty of the music, costumes, and dance.
Wonderful Praise January 12, 2008
I love this dvd. The songs, the outfits, the joy they have on their faces as they give thanks to god.

I discovered the Soweto Gospel Choir quite by accident while I was searching for information on Josh Groban, and I decided to just give them a listen to see what they were like. And I am so glad I did! To say that I was impressed would be an understatement! They totally blew me away! I went to their website, listened to a couple of sound clips, and within just minutes I was so moved that I purchased all three of their albums and this DVD! I am definitely not disappointed! These people will rock your socks off! Buy this DVD today! You will not regret it!
I was moved to tears just watching it!
