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.

It's About The People!

This channel is entirely based on the premise of serving the people. In each Sunday, hundreds of choirs perform in concerts to audiences of two hundred to thousands. Whilst on Saturday nights choirs support each other all across the country in what is termed as "choir thanks giving events".

These events attract an amazing showcase of choir talent and it is riddled with healthy competition to ensure that guests leave happy and equally ecstatic. Part of our value preposition is to bring the MTV, E!, and VH1, type format of channel to the screen and deliver the same level of quality to this working class audience of men and women. This is commercial channel and will remain committed to ensure that its commercial decisions advance the quality of its content.
