Soweto Gospel Choir

The internationally acclaimed Soweto Gospel Choir return to Sweden in 2026 with a brand-new production — JOY!, known as Injabulo in Zulu.

The choir is based in Soweto, South Africa, an area just outside Johannesburg and home to both Nelson Mandela and the country’s democratic freedom movement, but has made a name for itself worldwide.

After more than 20 years on the world stage, they continue to inspire audiences with concerts that transcend linguistic, cultural and musical boundaries.

JOY! draws on South Africa’s rich musical tradition, combining traditional African gospel and spirituals with freedom songs and modern classics.

The concert celebrates joy, togetherness and music’s ability to unite us — especially in uncertain times.

With magnificent vocal performances, colourful costumes, infectious rhythms and a particularly powerful way of conveying emotion, the choir creates a concert experience that is as uplifting as it is moving.

As multiple Grammy Award winners, Soweto Gospel Choir have performed on the world’s most prestigious stages and collaborated with artists such as Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Peter Gabriel and U2.

JOY! is a reminder of our shared humanity and how high we can reach when we raise our voices — together.

Let the choir’s infectious energy brighten your day, and get ready for a vibrant concert celebrating joy!
