Soweto Gospel Choir African Spirit

Grammy Award-winning Christopher Tin’s new album, The Drop That Contained the Sea, features Angel City Chorale (ACC) on 7 of 10 tracks.
The ten-part song-cycle, in ten languages, explores the theme of water in its different forms, with vocal performances by ACC alongside Grammy winners the Soweto Gospel Choir and Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares, as well as early music superstars Anonymous 4, Mongolian pop star Nominjin, world-renowned fadista Dulce Pontes, Grammy-nominated choir Schola Cantorum, and others. Christopher Tin composed and conducted the album with music performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

'Freedom' is Soweto Gospel Choir's heartfelt tribute to international hero Nelson Mandela in celebration of the 100th anniversary of his birth. The album features iconic "struggle" songs associated with the liberation movement in South Africa, including compositions by Miriam Makeba, Harry Belafonte, Letta Mbulu and Mbogeni Ngema, creator of the hit musical "Sarafina.""
