THECHOIRCHANNEL: Seun & The Holy Rock

Seun & The Holy Rock has an incredible history which we believe has to be shared in a special way, to allow people to appreciate the powerful history of this amazing group pioneered by Seun Nkosi. When we think of the legend Phoka, we cant help but acknowledge the presence of Seun. He has kept the sound alive for years since the passing of one of the legendary singers of POSTOLA. We find the history of how Sean & The Holy Rock came about as a testimony of perseverance. But we will leave that Documentary for TheChoirChannel debut where you will get these stories more told in a professional manner. For now enjoy...

Please share your thoughts on this group and the quality of their rendition.

THECHOIRCHANNEL: VGA MASS CHOIR

We have a new choir on our playlist named VGA Mass Choir. Ntate J Baloyi, the Rabbi, has written a great article about their music. It's a must read for fans and those who will love the sound. We have for you a song which is well recorded and sung. You are guaranteed to fall in love, besides TheChoirChannel only works with the very best choirs. The song is titled: "O Seke Oa Nteleka", from the popular hymn "Sefapano Ke Boha". We trust you will enjoy it as much as we have.

The great thing about this song is that a majority of people know the melody but VGA's arrangement is excellent. Its not a bore and it has a timeless effect to it. VGA MASS CHOIR is perhaps the best group from Vaal, but we are having more and more group contact us with requests to be featured and work with us. Which we welcome by the way and we would like you share you thoughts on this group.

INSIDEPOSTOLA: MAJALEFA (THE OTHER ONE) – I MISS THE MUSIC!

There once was a lady, light skinned and vocally talent. The very first lady I actually thought could beat Mme Lucky from Jerusalema E Ncha, vocally. She was a lead singer of Majalefa A Morena and she become part “MAJALEFA” - the other group which decided to only use one word and the whole, as a result of choir disputes. Confusing…yes I know!

Having said that, the lady was incredible and whoever discovered her is a genius. I first heard her sing “MOEMEDI” on Gospel Gold. The intro alone was celestially inspired. As she went…“Kena….le moemedi…momomomomo…..” the choir took up their vocal positions and it was on, like wild fire. Listening to these old ladies and gentlemen sing what was known to be simple song, but they managed to turn it into a hit.

I called my record store immediately and the had three copies of the cassettes and I reserved mine. By Monday morning at 10am, I was playing the cassette like a crazy person on full blast.

SIDE ONE: Joko Ea Hao, Ke Tshaba Moya, Mmele Pelo Le Moya, Ho Fedile, Emnqamlezweni,

SIDE TWO: ,Moemedi Moya, Akahlulwa Lutho Ujeso, Lona Ba Ratang, Sefapano, Rea U Boka.

For the very first time the brand Majalefa the brand has a sound which become a national hit. You could hear the song played by taxi drivers and on always on Sunday radio.

Songs like Akahlulwa, Ke Tshaba Moya, Ho Fedile become a stable for any Acapella group. It was then upon close inspection and analysis of the music that I learned the truth about the group being a wrong version. However at the time their music was national and everyone loved MAJALEFA. This talented lead vocal lady was the anchor talent for the entire album singing 6 six songs on the album. She was truly talented, especially when you hear her vocal abilities on “Ke Tshaba Moya”.

C’mon man apostolic music is a wonder of wonders.

Unfortunately… when I tracked the group down, I was told she’s gone to become a sangoma. SHOCK!

In that note. Till next time!

THECHOIRCHANNEL: THE BLUE TRAIN HAS CAPTURED NTATE BALOYI

This is what he had to say after hearing the music for the very first me:

“It is a wonder this choir has not reached me sooner because they have improved impressively on their musical works and it seems to me they have made friends with the process of recording. This album is WONDERFUL and a great addition to any collection.

When I was asked to watch the groups performance on Ezomoya I could not even stand to watch more than 2minutes ( I HATE DETEST BAD CHOIR PERFORMANCES ), because I was just turned-off. It seems to me the group suffers from the problem of “the right song selection for maximum effect when on TV!.” Ntate J M Baloyi

When their songs landed on my desk, It took me seven months before I even listened to a single track. Why?...well that TV Performance spoiled my interest. Yeah, that bad! But anyhow, when I finally got around to listening to the album, I was amazed, surprised and for the very first time realized how good the group is.”

Read much more and some of his insightful analysis of the groups music, when Ntate Baloyi reviews Lejwe La Motheo. Also you will get o hear some of what he considers the best tracks on their album.

If you want your group to be reviewed by the legendary and talent Ntate J Baloyi, pleas email us at thechoirchannel @ gmail.com. We will send you all the details. Catch Ntate Baloyi on INSIDEPOSTOLA reviewing and analyzing some of your favorite groups.

INSIDEPOSTOLA: JUNIOR BARORISI (CLASSIC)

The first album by this group was awesome. It has only 8 (eight) tracks but trust me they are still the best compositions to-date, earning their place in our classics collection.

They songs include:

SIDE ONE: Moemedi, Moshe, U Jesu Wami, Communication.

SIDE TWO: Lerato, Lefu, Lekunutu and Satane

Lets review shall we. When we listen to songs such as “Communication”, they more relevant today as they were then and musically the quality of the group was so unique that it did not sound like Barorisi Ba Morena. Take a song such as “Lerato” which was favorite of mine and copied by many choirs across the country. That’s how choirs knew they had a hit on their hands. Everyone wanted to sing the songs – copy and perform the original. Some choirs would perform the song so well that you would be convinced its the original choir. Good old days hey?

Then we have “Lefu” yet another successful track which was perform at funeral and such. Great composition, arrange and production including the fact that lead vocals were great. When that the other lead vocals with a sweet voice guy signals “Jeso Oitse” my goodness… perfection. Oh man that first-part going “Lekukutu Le Morena”, also a great track which sounded simple but was well executed. What I loved most is that you heard what they were singing about.

‘Moemedi” came at the heels of MAJLEFA’s MOEMEDI (more on that on our next post). Junior’s Moemedi was excellent, very unique and a perfect showcase of that talent pool. There is a vocal affectation on one of the female leads and I remember we used to make fun of her and say ‘Ampiki Moya o Halalelang” whereas he says “Aha hihi Moya o Halalelang”.

Eish…kegopola step sa “Moshe” on stage as “Holy Ocean” – one the best choirs from Limpopo in the 90’s, as they performed this track.

Fast forward to the current Junior Barorisi….very different musically!
