Sweet Honey in the Rock

last night i experienced the presence of an amazing group of women, Sweet Honey in the Rock. the music filled the auditorium, chills were sent running through my body countless times, and a peaceful, appreciative smile rarely left my face. there are still many stops on their tour...i highly recommend enjoying their company.

" One of the world’s premiere a cappella vocal ensembles, she comes singing songs that effortlessly and masterfully address life’s most critical human activities: education, economics, labor, love, spirituality, politics, and war; songs that articulate our most pressing issues: a clear voice for the oppressed, a clarion call for a depleted environment and eroding civil liberties; songs that preserve, extend and bridge the distance between the traditional calls, chants, shouts, work songs, spirituals, long meter hymns and gospels of her ancestors, and the blues, jazz, R & B, reggae, and hip-hop of today’s ever-changing world."
