Soulful and joyous gospel,
By Anonymous (Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Voices from Heaven (Audio CD)
One of my favourite gospel albums. Joyous and soulful voices - I love 'Many Rivers To Cross' and 'Paradise Road', and their version of 'Amazing Grace' just gives me shivers. Beautiful African melodies. Would definitely recommend it.

Breathtaking!,
By R. Kyle - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Voices from Heaven (Audio CD)
If you love Ladysmith Black Mambazo and have been longing to hear some female voices with the same kind of tight harmony and vocalizations, this is the CD for you. This is an amazingly talented group of people. Soweto Gospel Choir members speak 11 African languages and sing in 8 plus English. You'll also hear the 'clicks' and ululations which make African music so distinctive.The choir is also touring in the US for a while. If you get a chance, a listen to this group is definitely an uplifting experience. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful

SOUTH AFRICAN HARMONY AT ITS FINEST,
By Thomas E. Jordan "Teejay60" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Voices from Heaven (Audio CD)
Purchased Voices From Heaven,after seeing a liveperformance of "Blessed." While the audio only album cannot fully describe the songs on this album,the way a live video can,it was still very enjoyabloe.The harmony was at times "soul wrenching." The presentation, captivating! My favorite songs were: "Ahuna Ya Twanag Le Jesu" (Nobody Like Jesus,)The classic South African Lullabye "Thula Baba" and the Johnny Clegg standard "My African Dream." This was an outstanding performance.I wish I had seen it live. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful

Tribal, Caribbean, old-school gospel, and much in between,
By Frank Camm - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Voices from Heaven (Audio CD)
High quality and excitement throughout. Most are easy to recognize as gospel music, even when the specific form is unfamiliar. Songs vary in approach and language. Some are distinctly tribal in origin; others sound Caribbean, some are clearly American, old-school soul in origin. And much in between. But they tend to certain attributes. The core of each song is a steady, communal, simple chant. Songs feel like they are blocked out, and the chorus works through each song in blocks. Some have complex harmonies or even layers of separate parts of the chorus. Others seek the sacred in simplicity. One or two solo voices sing above the chorus in a much more individual, excited, complex, fervent spirit. Solos are mainly female; a few male voices. Individual leads effectively voice their wild devotion over the rock-solid steadiness of the community. Drums typically appear, usually in sparse, syncopated role, and always supporting the voices. Simple but stinging electric guitar accompanies a few pieces. Stand-outs: tr 3-Thina Simnqobile (Close, steady communal chant. Deep female voice above. Quick, light, syncopated drums. Precise clapping in complex rhythms. Ululating.) [56:33]
