Soweto Gospel Choir

They’ve performed at the World Cup. They’ve played the Oscars. They’ve won Grammy awards.
They’re the Soweto Gospel Choir, and they’re coming to Fayetteville next week.
The 24-member group from South Africa has been gaining attention worldwide for their incredible music and inspiring performances since forming in 2002.
Their debut album Voices of Heaven reached the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s World Music Chart within three weeks of its U.S. release.
Their song “Baba Yetu” won a Grammy, and their rendition of “Down to Earth” from the film Wall-E won an Oscar for Best Original Song in 2009.
They’re kind of a big deal.
The world-renowned choir will perform at Walton Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 6, and we’ve got a pair of tickets to give away to that performance.
