“You don’t have to be a believer to be inspired by the Soweto Gospel Choir: an appreciation of superb singing is all that is required. The 24-strong line-up, decked out in vividly coloured traditional attire, perform a headily uplifting mix of traditional African gospel with popular borrowings such as Amazing Grace and Jimmy Cliff’s Many Rivers to Cross. The songs are accompanied by djembe rhythms and, for added visual impact, a range of simple but energetic dance moves.
