Advantages: This gospel group are outstanding!! Disadvantages: None
The Sounds of Blackness, was created in 1971, as a traditional American Gospelchoir, but their reputation for contempary gospel has made them a popular group to which many a main stream artist would like to work with.
The group is made up of a 50 strong talented vocalists, with the lead artist (Anne Nesby) holding the choir in good esteem.

There was no conductor, but they really didn?t need one.
The Music
As I just mentioned, the range of genres took me by surprise, as I was expecting something, well, more old school gospel. Although most gospel singers I?ve heard have beautiful voices, it?s not music I listen to often.
The Choir probably spent a equal time singing traditional African hymns as they did songs that I or my friend already knew.
The first half of the concert featured some wonderful arrangements, including a rendition of Bob Marley?s One Love which then slipped seamlessly into Bridge over troubled waters by Simon and Garfunkel.
