Having started out primarily as an anti-apartheid activist group, we concentrated largely on South African freedom songs for the first few years. We continue to cherish that powerful musical lineage and at the same time have broadened our focus considerably to include an array of topics and vocal traditions not only from all over the world, but also right here at home. Listed below are examples from our extensive repertoire.
