Join members of internationally renowned a cappella ensemble Sweet Honey In The Rock for a unique sound experience as the group captures the complex sounds of blues, spirituals, traditional gospel hymns, rap, reggae, and hip hop using their vocal prowess. During this performance and demonstration, learn how the ensemble uses their collective voice as an instrument along with a variety of percussion instruments like the cow bell, tambourine, and African rhythmic instruments. The Grammy Award®–winning group discusses how they blend musical idioms and styles to create a sound that can only be described as sweet in songs like “This Little Light of Mine” and “The Civil Rights Medley.” (recorded in 2009 at C.
