Our diverse repertoire includes songs from all over the world.
We sing over 100 songs, including original compositions and arrangements
by Eveline MacDougall.
Over the years, we have sung in Xhosa, Japanese, Swedish, Arabic, Croatian,
Vietnamese, Hebrew, Spanish, Sotho, Zulu, and other languages as well as English.

Our genres include traditional folksongs, hymns, spirituals,
lullabies, rounds, and much more.
While we sing most of our material a cappella,
we also incorporate drums and other instruments.
