Soweto Gospel Choir on tour in U.S.
The Soweto Gospel Choir sings more traditional African music than it does African-American gospel. Still, its message is about the Christian faith.
Many of its songs speak to South African pride, says a newspaper in Ann Arbor, Mich., where the group will be in concert tonight. The group's music grew out of South Africa's struggle during apartheid, a system of legalized racism against the black majority.

The Soweto Gospel Choir will visit the Music Center at Strathmore, Bethesda, on Dec. 12.
