One of the highlights of our trip to South Africa was enjoying the hospitality of our promoter, Yami, along with his family and friends. We enjoyed a wonderful evening in their home with great food, fellowship and encouraging conversation.
Here’s a shot of Acappella Classic singing in Johannesburg, as Kevin Schaffer grabs some photos of the audience in mid-concert.
What a joy to sing with this unique vocal ensemble that was assembled for the South African tour. One of the special song combinations that was created for this trip was the medley of “Teaching The Truth In Love” going directly into “For The Lost.” As with any concerts, we could identify the rough spots [...]
At the Joburg South African Acappella CLASSIC concert, the singers took the stage one at a time. I launched the concert singing “Jabulani” followed by a solo rendition of “A cappella.” A thunderous response greeted Rodney Britt as he joined me on stage (pictured here.) Later, George, Gary Moyers, Steve Maxwell and finally Kevin Schaffer [...]
The guys still can’t get over the fact that a large group of fans, complete with drums were waiting to greet Acappella Classic as they arrived at the Joburg airport. This is yet another aspect of the African fan base here with their warm hospitality that transforms this tour into an almost surreal experience. We [...]
After a while, it’s easy to lose count of how many interviews and media appearances Acappella Classis has made on the South African tour. Here is a shot from an SABC visit for a live radio interview, complete with singing. Our host was amazed by the sound and energy of the “Good Livin’” performance, and [...]
The Weltevreden Park church of Christ in Johannesburg hosted a Praise & Harmony workshop this past weekend and the house was packed. The Acappella Classic tour provided an opportunity to plan some workshops in the host cities. I was very pleased by the enthusiastic response.
I captured this photo just before our sound check at the Rhema church in Johannesburg. The problem was, my wide angle lens was not even close to being wide enough to capture this massive, 6,000 seat auditorium. Thus, you are only seeing a center view of this semi-circle auditorium. I guess I could have stitched [...]
On our way to lunch, I captured this shot from our moving vehicle in Johannesburg as we talked about how good this sidewalk-grilled chicken would probably be.
We visited Nelson Mandela Square and a lot of the Sandton area, which is probably the richest square mile of the entire continent of Africa. Although not my first trip to South Africa, this was my first time to visit this area. Yami, the concert promoter, is treating us like royalty and we appreciate it [...]
