From the dusty streets of the township to the country’s top concert halls, the Gugulethu Tenors’ raw talent has captured the hearts of audiences across South Africa. They’ve performed to politicians, dignitaries and superstars including Oprah Winfrey, Chris Rock and Mariah Carey. At the 2006 Oprah Party, guests were blown away, and including Oprah herself was touched by their sincere performance and humble beginnings. Their ambition goes beyond success as performers – collectively they aim to be role models for South Africa’s youth and, through their singing, to showcase the richness and diversity of South Africa’s cultural heritage.
