"When someone introduced me to "Sweet Honey," they stuttered over a description - "well, they are 5 African American women plus a woman who signs . . . and they sing gospel, traditonal African and original compositions. They use a few percussion instruments. They sing of love and justice and freedom and life and Jesus." I could not imagine such a mix! But I went to their concert and was mesmerized. If you are looking for a category or a short description, I am not able to offer one. This particular CD of Sweet Honey contains quite a few classic black gospels presented a cappella with the potential to take your breath away. These are powerful women with powerful voices to fill your soul. Sing along and let this music lift your spirit."
