Movie Reviews of Soweto Gospel Choir - Blessed Live in Concert
Movie Review: Awesome Choir; Dead Audience!
Summary: 4 Stars
I Absolutely love this DVD! The songs, the arrangements, the unbridled passion in their voices and choreography, and the colorful outfits combine for an amazing presentation. (Where do I get one of those shirts?)
The only downer is the deadpan audience. This should be filmed again in front of an audience that is capable of being moved. I suspect a church would be a more vibrant setting.
Summary of Soweto Gospel Choir - Blessed Live in Concert
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.
