Best South African gospel?

Postby Neil Foxlee » Sun Feb 22, 2009 7:55 pm

Just come across Rebecca Malope (supposedly the Queen of SA gospel - live clip here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW9y2Q949nI ) and briefly checked out the Soweto Gospel Choir, but what would forumistas recommend?

I can recommend the Rough Guide to South African Gospel, which was released in 2003. It has a great selection, with extensive notes by Rob Allingham - these are unfortunately in white print on coloured pages, making them a real pain to read!

I'd also reccommend "South African Gospel Accroding to Earthworks" put out by Sterns / Earthworks 10 years ago. It's not as comprehensive is the Rough Guide, but contains some wonderful music.

Out of print, but only just, so it should be possible to find it.
