|PIC1|The Grammy Award-winning Soweto Gospel Choir will bring a taste of Africa to this year's Edinburgh Festival where they will perform the world premiere of their new show African Spirit.
The choir will perform a capella for the first time, accompanied by their four piece band, and will feature costumes and dance routines not previously seen.
The new show coincides with their new album of the same name, launched earlier this year.
The choir will be performing at the Assembly Hall, The Mound, Edinburgh from 2 to 26 August, with performances starting at 12 noon.
The Soweto Gospel Choir was formed to celebrate the unique and inspirational power of African Gospel music.
The 26-strong choir, under the direction of David Mulovhedzi and Beverly Bryer, draws on the best talent from the many churches in and around Soweto.
The choir is dedicated to sharing the joy of faith through music with audiences around the world.
