Performance NotesAn all female Acapalle group, Black Voices are inspired by Sweet Honey in the Rock, Mahalia Jackson and Take Six, to name a few, but since inception, has forged its own dynamic way of distilling and re-presenting black music from a Caribbean, black British perspective. From spirituals to gospel, African to Caribbean, blues and jazz, Black Voices is firmly rooted in music that energises and uplifts, challenges and educates. The company hosted and presented its own a cappella series on BBC Radio 2, has performed on radio and television in numerous countries around the world, has produced several CDs, and has researched, produced, directed and performed in many international collaborations.

Black Voices describe their repertoire as ‘a carefully woven tapestry covering a broad spectrum of musical styles’ and they continually add new threads of colour to their rich fabric of oral music. Black Voices has an extensive repertoire of traditional songs from Africa, jazz, gospel, pop, Motown, Caribbean and English folk.
