“A substantial reminder that amid the crafted din and amplified clutter of modern pop, unaided, unadorned human voices are capable of creating powerful music” The Los Angeles Times
An a cappella quintet of truly outstanding quality, Black Voices perform songs from a repertoire which they describe as “a carefully woven tapestry” covering a broad spectrum of musical styles and continually adding new threads of colour to their rich fabric of oral music.
Their stunning performances and unique brand of a cappella include, traditional African, Caribbean and English folk songs, jazz, Gospel, pop and reggae – in a truly harmonic blend that celebrates their rich African, Caribbean and British heritage yet transcends gender, race, age or religious persuasion.
It’s a sound that they have consistently honed over two decades and has seen them tour throughout the World, sharing stages with greats like Ray Charles, Nina Simone, Take 6 and Wynton Marsalis – as well as entertaining Nelson Mandela and the British Royal Family.
As Mark Kibble says…"You don’t want to miss them” !
“Let me just say I LOVE Black Voices! Outstanding Talent! Outstanding Spirit! Women who are not afraid to speak out and represent on worthy, heartfelt causes, and bring it with flavour that starts from the Caribbean and touches music from all parts of the world! You don't want to miss them!” Mark Kibble – Take 6, USA
