More than a gospel choir, their repertoire includes spirituals, field songs, blues, jazz and work songs from all over the United States, the Caribbean and Africa. Using song, dance and story, they create dynamic rhythms and sparkling energy. Their performances are poignant and uplifting and are known for rousing endings that will have everyone on their feet...
