"Umoja: This Swahili word means "Unity" or "Togetherness". And this CD soundtrack will definitely unify people because the music is amazingly uplifting, transcends boundaries, and it will make you wish you could travel to South Africa to witness the musical as it comes to life on stage! This fantasic CD derives from the South Africa musical Umoja: The Spirit of Togetherness. A pulsating musical celebration of South African song and dance, from the rhythms of tribal music to the intricate dance moves of gumboot dancing.



The melodious voices blend together in PERFECT harmony and the title soundtrack "Umoja" will get you out of your seat and make you dance to no end. It also contains a total of 24 rich tracks and songs such as "Hobe" "Venda Snake Song" "Umoja" "Tula Baba" "I Have A Dream" "Laku Tshon' Ilanga" and "Paradise Road" which will leave you smiling, laughing and sometimes melancholy at the same time. (I bought it 2 weeks ago and haven't put it down since.)



The price is definitely worth the CD because this soundtrack has it all: dynamic talent with great voices for all to enjoy. You will not be disappointed, I guarantee it!"

UMOJA a DREAM show and a DREAM recording!

"For anyone who has seen this phenominal show, I can safely say that this recording lives up to the amazing stage production. UMOJA is possibly the best ensemble stage show in the world. And this recording features the voices of the show beautifully.
