- London African Gospel Choir, Paul Simon
A fantastically uplifting show that has consistently been selling out shows across the capital.
The London African Gospel Choir is a collective of African singers, musicians and dancers who have performed to great acclaim with the likes of Emeli Sandé, Mumford and Sons and Annie Lennox, recorded with Idris Elba and many others and have headlined at venues such as the O2 Arena.
Thirty years after the release of Paul Simon’s West African smash, Gracelands, members of the ‘London African Gospel Choir‘, backed by a troupe of a-list musicians, perform their own powerful twist. This 17 strong ensemble will be delivering the Graceland album in it’s entirety from start to finish and the choir’s powerful re-imagining will take us from the smash hit single “You Can Call Me Al” through the gorgeous “Diamonds on the Sole of Her Shoes” to the haunting a capella Zulu folk song “Homeless” – performed as only an African choir can – and everything in between.
This really is a “not to be missed” performance that all can enjoy and, we expect, sing along too. We can’t think of a better place to be than soaking up the sounds of one of the all time truly great albums.
