Gospel music is an integral part of everyday life in South Africa's urban townships and rural communities, and it constitutes one of the largest genre segments of the local recording industry. This widespread popularity has spilled over onto the international stage with groups and artists like Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Rebecca Malope. "The Rough Guide" brings together 22 powerful performances recorded over the last 40 years, in styles ranging from apostolic choirs to pop-influenced gospel divas. Some accompaniment. It's hard to pick favorites here, but "Bayahuba Abantwana" by St. Moses Choir, "Morena Boluka," by Amagugu Odumu, "Hamba Jona" by Michael Nkole & His Apostles, "Tumelo" by "I.P.C.C.," "Izindaba" by 12 Apostles Church Choir, ""There's Room Enough" by King's Messengers Quartet," "Hosanna Nkosi Yami" by Davey Angels, "Usizo Lwam" by Rebecca Malope, ""Ha Ba Tshela Jordane" by Holy Cross Choir, "Baba Wethu Singenile" by Ladysmith, "Ka Lifu Laka" by Z.C.C. Mukhukhu and "Wemngoma Lishonile" by Holy Spirits Choir are particularly wonderful. Spirited, joyful, rhythmic music from some of the best Gospel choirs and singers in the world that will have you singing along, boogying to the beat and feeling fine!
