Kethabile by Barorisi Ba Morena


Barorisi Ba Morena sings "Kethbile", a hymn which still has a lot more punch than some of the song being recorded and released by choirs. This songs can illustrate the choirs former glory in composition and arrangement.

Three Choirs, #3 English Songs


We have selected three English songs from the albums of Balatedi Ba Morena, Jerusalema E Ncha and Balatedi Ba Morena. Tell us which version is your favorite?

This special was inspired by Barorisi Ba Morena's song Glory

Glory was a very successful English hymn from the group Barorisi Ba Morena. However what most people do not know is that, this song is influenced largely by Jimmy Swaggart who also influenced a lot of Jacob Tlou (composer and founder of Barorisi Ba Morena).

We just like how the choir was ahead of its time musically. Listen carefully to the melody and how the choir goes up and down during the "Ahh" just before "Glory". Kinder cool. Typical of Barorisi, Father and Son, take on the lead vocals and they do not disappoint.

The other songs are from,
Jerusamela ENcha, Daniel

and
Balatedi Ba Morena, We Shall Serve The Lord


Please Note: Gospel Choirs interested in having their music of TheChoirChannel should email thechoirchannel(at)gmail.com, for more information. We always looking for quality choirs to feature on our line-up.
